Physiotherapy

About this programme

Physiotherapy is an applied health discipline that supports the participation of people from all backgrounds and abilities in the occupations that help define them and their quality of life. The part-time physiotherapy degree at USW is designed to help you build the knowledge and practical skills needed to become a confident, independent physiotherapist. You will learn how to work effectively across a wide range of healthcare settings, applying your skills in real-world situations. Designed for practically oriented students who are compassionate, understanding, and curious about using a variety of approaches to help improve quality of life, are ideally suited to this course that will lead to a rewarding career. We’re recognised by Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and accredited by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP). Through placements, students have the opportunity to experience a variety of settings to apply and practice their newly acquired knowledge and skills in a safe environment. The course benefits from an extensive clinical simulation suite and a community flat simulation area in which a range of practical skills are taught, practised and examined. USW benefits from having additional state-of the art sports facilities based at the Sport Park site which will provide a further increasing range of learning and teaching environments for our students. Explore the factors that influence health and wellbeing, and learn how physiotherapists help people improve their health, prevent illness and lead active lives.
