Degree of Bachelor of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics Degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in Prosthetics and Orthotics
Prosthetists and orthotists analyse individuals’ need of and provide externally applied devices used to compensate for impairments of the structure and function of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems. This requires combining medical, biomechanical and engineering knowledge and skills, in interaction with the device user and other health professions.
The programme integrates these fields with evidencebased practice to increase quality of life for people. The students will integrate and apply theory and practical exercises in the student clinic on campus, along with clinical internships and a major thesis project.
The Prosthetics and Orthotics Bachelor programme has been accredited by the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO) at the Prosthetist/Orthotist level. The accreditation is an international recognition of the quality, scope and organisation of the programme. Students will benefit from the accreditation whereas graduates of the programme can apply to ISPO for an individual ISPO recognition certificate. The certificate facilitates recruitment for work abroad.
The School of Health and Welfare at Jönköping University is the only institution in Sweden to offer the Prosthetics and Orthotics Bachelor programme, which also leads to a licence to practice. Since 2018, the programme has been offered in English and accepts students from all over the world. Currently, about 100 students from around 10 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia are studying in the programme.
