You’ll practise your skills using our simulation facilities. These immersive spaces can be turned into a flat, ward, therapy room, GP practice or another real-world setting.

This will prepare you for working with actual patients on placements. Students can also do an elective placement, with some choosing to go abroad for this or specialise in a particular field.

Other opportunities include gaining micro-certificates in different therapies, which will improve your career prospects. You can also work on published research.
