BSc Physiotherapy

This three year degree programme is carefully designed to teach students all of the essential theory, methodology and technique necessary to enter into a career as a physiotherapist. It is made up of compulsory modules and substantial learning placements.

Your first year of study is made up of core theory and practice covering a range of topics, including Physiology, Anatomy and the values underpinning health and social care. You will also undertake a two week placement to introduce you to the workplace and a four week placement to establish theory practice links.

The second year continues to develop your awareness and knowledge, as you explore wider areas of health practice, alongside biological, psycho-social and spiritual perspectives of health. Evidence based practice and research are covered in group work, whilst a further 14 week placement helps to continue to build your practice profile.

Your final year of study has a strong emphasis on autonomy, including implementing theory and practice using creative media. You will also have the opportunity to complete a structured literature review with the individual guidance of a tutor supervisor. The second 14 week practice placement includes an eight week elective placement, with the opportunity to plan and undertake a placement of your choice.
