International DPT Programs

I have done some searches in the forums about the topic but nothing really had what I was looking for...

Has anyone looked into or know anything about applying to a DPT program abroad? I know there are opportunities to do clinicals abroad in many schools, but I am talking about a full 3 year DPT program overseas.

Some quick searches found some info but they seem vague about pre-reqs and GPA requirements and the international application process looks complicated.

Just thought it would be fun to entertain the idea (although I would expect it to be very expensive.)

As far as I understand, there are no DPT programs overseas, just Masters programs. I applied to Robert Gordon University in Scotland (Masters program; accredited by APTA; not attending because I want a doctorate) and my buddy is attending University of Queensland in Australia (Masters program; not accredited by APTA).

I would recommend visiting this site: Accredited Foreign PT Programs . This is published by APTA and shows the three foreign programs that are accredited by APTA.
