About the Course

Physiotherapists assess, treat and prevent human movement disorders across various areas of practice, including sport, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and neurological conditions in people of all ages. During your first years of study you will learn the basic medical sciences in courses such as human anatomy, physiology and psychology relevant to determinants of human health and function. The remainder of the degree focuses on abnormal movement and the prevention and treatment of disease and disability. You will be trained not only to work as an autonomous practitioner concerned with prevention and management of disability and illness in the workplace or community, but also as a member of a healthcare team concerned with the physical and psychosocial rehabilitation of people who are ill or disabled. Throughout your learning you will participate in: laboratory classes, where you will develop manual and technical skills, and professional practical experience at our on-campus Physiotherapy Clinics and during field placements.
