BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy – (B.Sc.)

Physiotherapy is one of the Professions Supplementary to Medicine. It opens up a range of dynamic and exciting career opportunities in a variety of fields.

Physiotherapists are experts in human movement. The prime purpose of physiotherapy is to restore and maintain function, activity and independence, and to prevent injury or illness through information and advice on healthy lifestyles. All physiotherapy has a health promotion component and chartered physiotherapists have an important role to play in improving public health and meeting national targets such as those for strokes, cancer, coronary heart disease and mental health. Physiotherapists and assistants work across all healthcare settings and cover a wide range of specialisms, often as part of multidisciplinary teams.

Our 3 years full time course aims to produce an Honours-level graduate physiotherapist who can practise physiotherapy competently and in any setting using an evaluative and problem-solving approach, and who, through a process of evaluation and reflection, can respond to the changing demands of healthcare provision and to the subsequent demands their career will place upon them.

You will have access to extensive and modern learning facilities both within the School of Health Studies and in the University as a whole. The School has a well-stocked specialist library, a newly-installed computer laboratory, movement analysis equipment, and specific profession facilities and clinical teaching resources.
