It is possible to switch to a master's in physiotherapy or psychology in several countries, but the process and ease vary.

- United Kingdom: Offers pre-registration master's in physiotherapy and psychology conversion courses for students from unrelated backgrounds. These are designed specifically for career changers.
- Australia: Provides recognized master's programs in both fields, but entry may require certain prerequisites or bridging courses.
- Germany & France: Some programs are available, but often require proficiency in the local language (German or French), which can be a barrier.
- Netherlands: Has relevant programs, but language and specific entry requirements may apply.

For most international students, the UK is typically the most straightforward option due to established pathways for non-background applicants. Entry requirements and language policies are subject to change.
