BSc Physiotherapy

University of Lancashire

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 will complete about 1,000 hours of assessed clinical practice before they graduate.

The students focus on how to diagnose and treat a wide range of clinical problems in a complete way, from conditions affecting the muscles and joints to the heart and nervous system. Students also learn about research, leadership, and how to apply current evidence in their work. Students are assessed by practical exams, presentations, written work, and assessments during their clinical placements.
