Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: B160

Here's what University of Huddersfield says about its Physiotherapy course.

If you’re fascinated about how our body systems work together to make us function – and how these are affected through illness and injury – our Physiotherapy BSc(Hons) could be for you.

Perhaps you’d like to work with people across a variety of settings, which could include a role as a physiotherapist for a sports team through to helping people on an intensive care unit.

You’ll explore all aspects of practice, and you’ll delve into the science behind physiotherapy, building the skills and understanding you need to work in this hands-on and rewarding profession. You’ll look at neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapy through to cardiovascular conditions and you’ll have the opportunity to build a wide knowledge base.

Why Study Physiotherapy BSc(Hons) at University of Huddersfield? Working in our physiotherapy practical rooms and biomechanics laboratory, you’ll have the opportunity to practise your skills for assessment, rehabilitation, as well as movement analysis.

You’ll benefit, too, from our excellent links with local healthcare providers and sports clubs, giving you the chance to undertake practical placements. You’ll hear about the experiences and viewpoints of service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group, and use specialist clinical teaching facilities and world-leading research facilities, via the University’s new Daphne Steele Building.

If you’re keen to help people maximise their potential through physical approaches, education, and empowerment – this course is for you. A healthcare degree like this one will set you up for a great career, or you could pursue further study following this physiotherapy course.

Students taking this degree may be eligible to receive a non-repayable grant of at least £5,000 each year. Further information is available on the NHS Learning Support Fund Website.

Professional Bodies This course is regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and

accredited by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.

Why Huddersfield? Huddersfield’s vibrant and friendly campus is a great place from which to study, while the town itself offers lots to see and do, with good transport links in and around the area.
