Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists treat patients of all ages, helping them to maximise functional movement caused by accidents, illness and disability. Their expertise helps improve mobility, independence and quality of life. You'll learn how to communicate professionally and treat patients safely and effectively. You will gain hands-on experience through clinical placements in the NHS and private sector, to prepare you for your physiotherapy career.

This course includes the sufficient number of clinical hours you need to qualify as a registered physiotherapist
Our physiotherapy course is validated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), so you can apply for registration with the HCPC and full membership of the CSP upon graduation.
Learn in our state-of-the-art Hospital & Primary Care Training Hub. This immersive environment mimics the professional world, offering simulation in critical care, hospital wards, rehabilitation and even a simulated home.
Physiotherapy is a professional healthcare course, meaning that all students must commit to actively participating in working with all peers in class. This will involve the touch and exposure of relevant body parts in a professional and respectful manner regardless of beliefs.
