BSc Physiotherapy

The BSc Physiotherapy at London South Bank University trains students to help people recover from injuries, pain, or disability through movement, exercise, and care. Physiotherapists work with people of all ages, from babies to older adults, to improve their physical health after accidents, surgeries, or illnesses. This course provides students with the knowledge and hands-on experience they need to become professional physiotherapists. The Physiotherapy course at London South Bank University is a full-time undergraduate degree that requires three years to complete.

The course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), and students learn how the human body functions, what causes pain or injury, and how to treat patients using exercises, movement, massage, and special equipment. Students will study topics like anatomy and body systems, injury treatment and prevention, and rehabilitation (helping people recover). From year one, students do real work placements in hospitals, clinics, or health centres to practice what they learn in class.

In the BSc Physiotherapy from London South Bank University, students learn through lectures, group work, lab practice, and real-life hospital training. They use human models, exercise equipment, and practice how to speak and treat patients. Students are tested through essays, presentations, exams, and clinical assessments during hospital placements. There is also a final research project in the final year.
