About Physiotherapy Bsc (hons) in University of Gloucestershire

Physiotherapy is a science-based healthcare profession where practitioners use their skills to improve and manage a wide range of medical conditions. Physiotherapists help people affected by illness, injury or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.

You’ll take a ‘whole person’ approach to health – fully involving patients in their own care through education, awareness and empowerment. You’ll study the core subjects of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and pathology in order to apply these to clinical situations. Your studies will include clinical placements in a variety of NHS and private settings to give you a diverse experience to prepare for your future career as a Physiotherapist.

The course is approved by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). On completion of the course you will be eligible to apply to the HCPC to practice as a registered Physiotherapist.
