MSC PRECISION NEUROREHABILITATION

The Master’s program in Precision Neurorehabilitation was launched in the fall semester 2024 taking 6 semesters to complete in a part-time model. The program endows students with a deep understanding in neurorehabilitation and engineering. Students will receive broad expertise in neurorehabilitation pathways, from system-level understanding to underlying neural mechanisms.

PNR expertise

Students will gain in-depth expertise in concepts and methodologies in neurorehabilitation and engineering. They will aquire communication and professional skills to lead teams in a variety of healthcare settings and across the neurorehabilitation industry.

Students will acquire the competences to critically analyze and evaluate evidence-based practices and scientific findings, fostering a reflective and informed approach to professional decision-making.

While PNR courses provide a clear academic approach to learning, students will be continuously exposed to clinical viewpoints and challenges through close integration with our clinical partner, cereneo.

TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING

Develop a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of neurorehabilitation technologies.

Gain in-depth knowledge and hands-on practical skills for the acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation of digital health data.

Practical exercises transfering theoretical principles into practice.

NEUROREHABILITATION PATHWAYS

Gain conceptual knowledge of neurorehabilitation from a human, data, and systems perspective.

Gain in depth knowledge on pathophysiology of neurological disorders with movement symptoms.

Understand and be able to consider holistic aspects of neurorehabilitation to implement highly precise, personalized treatment solutions.

MOVEMENT SCIENCE

Gain advanced knowledge in motor learning principles, neuroplasticity and learning.

Learn how such principles turn into evidence-based practice.

Gain advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in the interaction between behavioral outcomes and motor learning principles.

The master’s program is devised as a Master of Science (MSc) as defined by SwissUniversities standards.

The program is a part-time course and contains both on- and off-site teaching.

All teaching and course material is in English.

Onsite workshops & immersive lectures

Hands-on experience in cutting edge rehabilitation

Who can apply?

Everyone holding a B.Sc. in Health Sciences, Physiotherapy, or an adjacent field can apply for admission to our Master’s program. Admission for those with differing educational backgrounds will be considered on a case-by-case basis (“sur dossier”).

The Master’s comprises core courses worth 90 ECTS with an additional 30 ECTS (bridge courses) designed to provide all students with a common understanding of the clinical and academic aspects of neurorehabilitation, regardless of their background.

Individual evaluation of your background and degree record will be conducted to plan the bridge courses that you may be required to undertake. This approach aims to level applicants’ initial knowledge across differing fields and academic backgrounds.

We would like to remind international students to check any applicable Visa requirements for Switzerland ahead of time.

The Lake Lucerne Institute aims at national institutional accreditation by the national authorities. The accreditation process is comprehensive and might take several years to complete. Upon successful completion, any degree issued by the Institute before accreditation will be recognised as a University level degree by Swiss and European Standards. Regarding international acceptance, recognition depends on national education policies, which vary and fall outside our scope of influence.

In our neurorehabilitation clinic, we use a therapy concept based on physiological principles and cutting edge healthcare technology. On an everyday basis we face the difficulties that technology is not adoptable to the individual patient. This is due to the lack of technical expertise among clinicians who are unable to translate physiological needs to the opportunities modern technology can provide. To enable this transfer, we need healthcare professionals with technological expertise. Embracing these advancements not only elevates the patient experience but also improves treatment outcomes through precise data analysis and personalized interventions. This is the essence of precision neurorehabilitation.

I strongly believe that neurorehabilitation technology will transform the lives of millions of people affected by neurological conditions. It can support us to plan, deliver , and monitor patients unique rehabilitation journeys. But the use of technology remains low today. The PNR program will help us build bridges between technology providers and healthcare professionals to improve patient care.

Dr. Jaime DuarteCEO, Myoswiss AG

As a practicing physiotherapist for over a decade, I've come to appreciate the multidisciplinary nature of healthcare. Driven by my analytical skills, my passion for health and technology, I have decided to expand my horizons and pursue a Master's degree in medical engineering. Gaining proficiency in both clinical and technical domains has been pivotal, creating numerous professional opportunities at this intersection. A master course such as the PNR would have certainly caught my interest.
