Our BSc Physiotherapy degree enables students to develop as reflective critical thinkers fit for the future. Our approach to learning and teaching is underpinned by active-blended learning and a problem-solving approach to facilitate effective clinical reasoning skills, communication strategies and promotion of positive leadership values. Our Physio course emphasises practice-based education and research-informed prevention and management of population health, considering contemporary issues which underpin the ever-evolving health and social care landscape.
The course is accredited by The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP). On successful completion of the BSc Physiotherapy programme, you will be eligible to apply for registration with both the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.
