Program Description

Foundation Studies Program in Science is a university entry program designed for international students who have completed a minimum of year 11 or its equivalent. Science programs combine advanced academic knowledge with practical real-life training.

Students then transition to a Bachelor of Physiotherapy. The program in physiotherapy is offered as a 4-year Bachelor of Physiotherapy. The first three years of the program combine studies in physiotherapy with a broad understanding of biomedicine and health science fields to develop the professional competencies important for ethical and safe practice, high quality care and the skills to work in multidisciplinary teams. The final year focuses predominately on the development of physiotherapy practice skills, which are used during clinical placements to treat patients in the community. Evidence-based practice is one of the most important trends in healthcare today and a strong feature of the program.
