Course programme
The modules for this course can be found in the latest programme specification.
Year 1 emphasises practical learning; you will be encouraged to participate in practical sessions both as therapist and model to develop professional skills. Theory is taught in an integrated manner to allow you to link theory and practice. The student-led clinics are another opportunity to put your skills into practice.
In year 2 the emphasis is on the development of more advanced and specialised skills directed towards the common areas of physiotherapy practice. Your research knowledge and skills will be developed in readiness for year 3 modules. There are ‘practice preparation’ sessions to ensure that you are as well prepared as possible for work based learning, which at this level consists of three placements totalling 540 hours.
In year 3 the emphasis is on independent learning. You will complete a research module which will offer four options – a literature review, a piece of primary research, a research proposal or an audit of an aspect of practice. Work Based Learning placements at this level are worth a total of 60 credits and overall placements contribute a maximum of 46.7% to the overall degree classification.
