Physiotherapy BSC (Hons) (NFQ Level 8)

develop clinical physiotherapy assessment and management skills.
Why is this course for me? Tis course leads to one of the most rewarding careers in healthcare: Chartered Physiotherapist. Physiotherapy is the study and application of the scientific knowledge and professional skills required for the promotion of optimal health and well-being of adults and children through physi- cal means.

Murray GRADUATE
I chose to go to UCD because of its variety of subjects, both within my chosen course and in languages and music through UCD Horizons, and the range of clubs and sports available. Te UCD Physiotherapy programme is being continuously improved and student feedback
is actively encouraged, which resulted in a very positive academic experience that was student oriented. I had the opportunity to complete a clinical placement in Canada, and to work as a student physiotherapist at the Dublin City Marathon and with UCD sports teams.
KEY FAC T It is anticipated that there will be a graduate entry pathway for 2012 admission to Physiotherapy. Please see
www.ucd.ie/myucd/physio for further details.
