BSc(Hons) Physiotherapy

Why study physiotherapy?

Working as part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team - either in an NHS, independent or charity hospital or in the community - physiotherapists help to maintain and restore movement and function in people affected by injury, illness or disability.

It's varied, stimulating and rewarding work. There's always a need for skilled physiotherapists who know how to deliver safe, effective care in a way that promotes physical, psychological and social wellbeing.
