As a physiotherapist you can make a valuable contribution to the health and wellbeing of people affected by illness, injury or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. The programme adopts a holistic, person-centred approach that places people at the centre of decision making and empowers patients and their families through education and engagement.
On this course you’ll study the core areas of physiotherapy, drawing on the evidence base in the discipline and applying them to a variety of clinical situations and healthcare settings. These include clinical placements in a range of NHS and private providers to help you prepare for your future career as a physiotherapist. You’ll also gain valuable experience supporting long-term condition management programmes and a musculoskeletal clinic at the university or in the local area. You’ll use facilities such as treatment rooms, rehabilitation spaces, a demonstration hospital ward, a skills laboratory, a strength and conditioning suite, a fitness suite and a simulated home environment.
You will have completed an honours degree in the last five years, achieving a 2:1 or 1st class award or be predicted to achieve this grade if nearing the completion of a relevant degree programme. Your previous degree should be in biological sciences, sports science / therapy, or a healthcare course with significant anatomy and physiology components.
Graduates will be able to pursue a range of roles across different healthcare settings including hospitals, private clinics, sports facilities, and community centres. This programme not only equips you with extensive practical skills but also provides opportunities in research, education, and leadership within the healthcare sector.
