BSc Physiotherapy
Course overview
This BSc Physiotherapy at the University of Central Lancashire is a rewarding three-year programme that trains students for a key role in improving people's health and quality of life. The course combines learning at the university with a significant number of practical sessions in real healthcare settings.

Students are assessed by practical exams, presentations, written work, and assessments during their clinical placements.
