This course is for people who want to help others to improve their movement – despite physical difficulties caused by illness, injury, disability or ageing.
In the UK all physiotherapists must be registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). Our course has been approved by HCPC and enables you to fulfil HCPC requirements. Employability rates following the course are excellent.
The course lasts for two years so that there is sufficient time for you to undertake six placements. In total you will accrue 1,000 hours of experience in a range of settings and contexts.
A minimum of a 2:1 degree in a related subject area (such as Sports Science, Health Science, Physiology, Psychology), or a non-UK physiotherapy qualification at HE diploma level and a minimum of one year of clinical experience.
Applicants with a 2:2 honours degree in a related subject area and relevant experience may also be considered.
