This new course is designed for graduates who wish to qualify as a Physiotherapist with eligibility for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) through an accelerated two-year route.

Physiotherapy-specific modules will prepare you for clinical practice, through development of your theoretical understanding, critical thinking skills, and application of knowledge and skills to physiotherapy practice. The course will make use of scenario-based learning opportunities, simulation and will involve service users in teaching, learning and assessment, giving you ‘real-world’ experiences. 

As well as undertaking discipline-specific modules, you’ll undertake collaborative inter-professional modules, where you’ll work closely with students from the other disciplines in health and social care to develop your skills in communication, innovative thinking, clinical reasoning and team working. 

The course will prepare you to enter the workplace as a confident, proficient and autonomous Physiotherapist, with a strong understanding of current service provision and the graduate skills to lead and innovate in shaping future delivery in a rapidly changing sector to effectively meet the needs of service-users.

Learn more about the Physiotherapy team and programme by listening to our podcast. Use “Physiotherapy” in the podcast page search bar or click on each photo below, under “meet our academic team”.

From the start, you will be developing the key skills and theories required to be a Physiotherapist. This will include developing Physiotherapy knowledge and practical skills and then applying these in a variety of simulations. Your journey begins with learning and applying foundation skills essential to a Physiotherapist.

These key skills with being revisited throughout the 2 years of study utilising a Spiral Curriculum. Here we will revisit your key skills and knowledge and develop them further by integrating them into more complex situations. This not only develops deeper learning but also provides you with the skills required to be a resilient and effective problem solver Physiotherapist.

Research is threaded within your two years of study, as it is an important element of learning and development in our profession. In the specific research modules, there are opportunities to learn common research skills and theory with other Health and Social Care students (IPL) but with an underlying focus on Physiotherapy research knowledge.

Physiotherapy placements are in the final term of each year of the programme and you will undertake two eight-week placements in practice. Additionally in the programme, you will be sharing many aspects of learning with other health care discipline students in modules. This will allow you to develop a deeper understanding of the roles of others and enhance your communication skills and partnership working.
