Through clinical placements, case-based and simulated practice learning our newly accredited Physiotherapy BSc enables you to master the knowledge, clinical skills and confidence to become a qualified physiotherapist.
Were leading the way in physiotherapy teaching and will ensure your skills are of the highest standard for your future career. Through real-life case studies, youll study each area of the body in relation to a simulated patient problem. This approach to teaching corresponds to clinical practice, meaning youre gaining knowledge of anatomy and relevant experience of patient care.

Our placements are undertaken in six blocks of five weeks, giving you extended time in each clinical setting to really deepen your learning and skill set. Areas you can work in include: cardio-respiratory, intensive-care, neurology, musculoskeletal departments, community settings, as well as leadership and research placements. These placements build your confidence and abilities so that by the time you graduate, youre able to embark on a career as a physiotherapist.
