Course summary
As a Physiotherapist you’ll work to promote patient’s health and wellbeing, and restore their movement and function to as near normal as possible, in a wide variety of health settings; from intensive care units to Premier League sports clubs. You’ll have the opportunity to make a positive difference to patient’s lives in this rewarding career.
This practically applied course will enable you to effectively assess and treat a wide variety of patients, with an ability to analyse and evaluate your practice, in order to meet the demands of the rapidly changing health sector; with competencies beyond those expected of a graduate. The vital clinical placement aspect of the course will provide you with the practical and real-world experiences which will help to enhance your employability after graduation and give you an insight into how you will change tomorrow for your patients.
The former BSc version of this course is ranked 1st in the UK for graduate prospects, and 1st in Scotland for teaching quality and student experience.
