Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: B160
Here's what University of Suffolk says about its Physiotherapy course.
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession which sees human movement as central to the health and wellbeing of individuals of all ages. The physiotherapists’ expertise helps to identify and maximise movement potential through health promotion, preventive healthcare, treatment and rehabilitation.
This course prepares you to be a physiotherapist and exceeds the minimum of 1,000 clinical practice hours you need to qualify. Our developmental curriculum is designed to empower and teach you how to assess and treat patients and to communicate with both patients and other members of the multi-professional team professionally and effectively.
The course is delivered by a cohesive team of lecturer-practitioner staff who are all experts in their chosen clinical fields of physiotherapy practice. All practical skills teaching is undertaken in small student classes in newly refurbished specialist teaching accommodation which includes state-of-the-art clinical skills labs. We have excellent links with our practice placement colleagues who work in a wide variety of clinical settings including NHS wards, outpatients units and clinics private, independent and charitable facilities and local sports clubs. During both university-based teaching and practice placement you will have the opportunity to work and study interprofessional with other health and social care students
