The BSc Physiotherapy course aims to equip you with all the skills you need to work as a formally registered physiotherapist. You will be comprehensively prepared for the demands of evidence-based practice and become adaptable to the evolving world of contemporary health and social care.

Our course offers the chance to learn through theoretical and practical skills. ‘Hands-on’ application is a major component. Placement learning is also essential, as it directly contributes to your preparation for post-registration careers.

We aim to give you opportunities to develop your knowledge, understanding, intellectual skills, practical skills and personal skills: all of which are necessary for safe and effective physiotherapy.

Validated by the Health and Care Professions Council and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), this degree offers excellent career opportunities. Typically you will spend at least 1,000 hours on clinical placements throughout Wales and in certain circumstances beyond, applying your skills alongside practising professionals.

During your application to the course you will be required to demonstrate that you meet the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) good health and character, fitness to practise requirements. This will be achieved by providing a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate. All applicants will be required to have a satisfactory health screening prior to enrolment on this course which is conducted independently by the University’s Occupational Health Department. Full guidance on this will be provided at application stage.
