Physiotherapy

At the time of application you will be expected to demonstrate some work or observational experience in physiotherapy. You should include a reflection of this in your personal statement on your UCAS form.

The reflective statement should demonstrate your commitment to Physiotherapy and show that you have an understanding of the depth and breadth of the profession. See Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate on their UCAS form a sustained period of experience (paid or voluntary) of caring and helping others in a health or social care environment.

For this course, the University operates a gathered field approach to admission. This means that applications are assessed in groups, ensuring a fair and comprehensive selection process when the level of interest exceeds the number of places available.

As part of this process, following your interview, you may be placed on a waiting list until most interviews have been completed. If you are placed on the waiting list, you can expect to receive your decision before the end of March. We appreciate your patience and will keep you informed throughout the process.

Oxford Brookes University aims to provide equitable access to students with the potential to succeed. To achieve this, we make a holistic assessment, considering qualifications and experience in the context of personal and educational background. We make offers based on the evidence we can see of the skills and abilities required for success and show flexibility in our confirmation of a place, where there is evidence to show that grades may not fully represent future potential.
