Questions and answers
Do I have to pass an entrance exam to study psychomotor therapy?
In order to be admitted to the psychomotor skills course, prospective students must pass an entrance examination, which takes about half a day and serves as an aptitude test. The exam does not require any previous knowledge and consists of the "Movement and Interaction" part of the exam, a letter of motivation and an individual interview. Candidates will incur costs for the entrance examination.
Who is the target group for psychomotor skills training?
Candidates for a Bachelor's degree in psychomotor skills should enjoy movement and be interested in the development of children, be social and communicative, a team player, flexible, able to deal with conflict and ready for in-depth self-reflection. Educational requirements include a teaching diploma for kindergarten, elementary school or lower secondary school or a Baccalaureate or UAS degree. Persons with other qualifications should contact the head of studies directly via our contact form to find out about the relevant admission options.
Are internships also completed during psychomotor training?
Four internships must be completed during the psychomotor training in order to acquire and consolidate therapeutic and professional skills. The first placement introduces students to the everyday life of a psychomotor therapist and familiarizes them with their own activities. In the second placement, students get to know the kindergarten, crèche and first grade settings and their learning objectives, can test different forms of cooperation and carry out psychomotor activities. In the third internship, Therapy Internship 1, students can apply and further develop their experience and knowledge from the last two internships and, in the fourth internship, Therapy Internship 2, expand it to such an extent that they can work independently as a psychomotor therapist at the end.
