Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Physiotherapy

As a physiotherapist, students make a real difference to the way people function physically, socially and psychologically, using therapeutic intervention to optimize their abilities. This is achieved through health promotion, preventative healthcare and rehabilitation.

Students learn to apply their knowledge and understanding of contemporary physiotherapy practice, and they gain the skills to be a safe, autonomous and professional practitioner. Core skills underpinning physiotherapy include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, movement analysis and electrotherapy. Throughout the course, as part of the placement experience, students will be required to participate in a shift pattern rota or work weekends. This course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.
