Course Details - Modules
Year one introduces you to anatomy, physiology, common musculoskeletal conditions, basic research skills and professional development. We focus on equipping you with strong skills and knowledge, to prepare you for your first placement in year two.
The second year builds on the basic knowledge and practical skills from year one. You'll study more specialist areas, including long-term and complex conditions. Year two also includes four blocks of supervised clinical practice.
We offer a flexible approach in year three, where you can select optional modules to tailor your learning towards your future career interests. Topics could include mental health, rheumatology, paediatrics, cardiorespiratory and women's health.
You'll also complete an investigative piece of work in your final year physiotherapy project. This is an opportunity to carry out your own research in an area that interests you personally, with the guidance of our expert academics.
