Physiotherapy BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy
What’s it about?
Physiotherapy seeks to maximise human movement and function by using physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social wellbeing. This work can result in benefits such as reducing pain, increasing flexibility in joints and strengthening muscles. The degree equips you with the knowledge and skills required by physiotherapists to provide evidence-based health care, using our purpose built, state-of-the-art technical and teaching facilities.
Upon graduation you are eligible to become a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists and apply to be placed on the Health Professions Council register of Physiotherapists.
What will I learn?
Year 1 lays down skills which are built upon throughout the programme including problem-solving and clinical reasoning skills, and an introductory placement is included. Year 2 explores the neuro- musculoskeletal and cardio-respiratory systems and incorporates two six week placements. During year 3, complex rehabilitation needs are explored, as well as completion of research-based assignments. There are opportunities for you to participate in the University’s extensive research programme should you wish to. A further three placements are undertaken this year.
In total, six clinical placements are undertaken throughout the programme.

How will I learn?
Reflecting on your own performance as a learning tool is an essential part of learning at the University and on your clinical placements. You will benefit from video footage to help with revision, quizzes to assist with identifying your level of knowledge and understanding, and a personal tutor system. Clinical experience is gained through a wide variety of health care settings.
Can I get work experience?
You will gain wide-ranging experience from placements in NHS hospitals and community-based trusts, private hospitals, sporting organisations and private practices, both locally and beyond the North West region. On each clinical placement you will be supported by experienced clinicians and work as part of health care teams. There is the opportunity to take part in our Erasmus scheme which gives the opportunity to undertake a placement overseas in countries such as Norway, Finland and Belgium. This option includes provision of grant funding.
What about funding?
If you are a UK or EU resident you will have your tuition fees paid for you. You may also qualify for a means-tested NHS bursary. You are eligible to apply for Department of Health bursaries, irrespective of whether you have previously obtained a grant from your Local Education Authority (LEA). Alternative funding is available on the part- time programme for physiotherapy assistants/NHS employees from the North West region and members of the Professional Footballers Association (PFA). A certain number of self-funded places are also available.
Where can I get a job?
Graduates have gone onto work within the NHS, private sector, social services, industry and sporting organisations. There are also opportunities overseas, as well as in research and education. Further to this, you will develop transferable skills such as problem-solving, personal development, group working and communication which allow a much wider range of job opportunities to be considered.
