This programme is accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).
How our cardiovasual, respiratory, neurological and musculoskeletal systems work together to make us healthy and active is a marvel. On our Physiotherapy degree you’ll be stretched to go beyond skin-deep learning as you explore the anatomy, physiology and science behind the practice of physiotherapy, as well as developing the interpersonal skills and professionalism needed to work as an HCPC registered and Chartered Physiotherapist. During your degree we will enable you to build the skills and confidence you need to work in this hands-on and rewarding profession.

Our three-year course is designed to ensure you are able to work in partnership with users and carers and other professionals, and able to make sound and compassionate clinical decisions, problem solve and provide a consistent and high standard of evidence-based person-centred care.

This programme also incorporates leadership development, which is very attractive to employers and recognises that future practitioners need these skills to contribute effectively to flexible and responsive service delivery.

As Winchester Physiotherapy students, you may have the opportunity to gain invaluable experience of treating patients during your practical placements at our new Winchester Health Clinic. This would be supervised by an attending HCPC-accredited practitioner to help prepare you for your future careers. The Clinic is managed by the University and is located at the Winchester Sport and Leisure Park at Bar End. The Clinic is set to become a leading provider of physiotherapy assessment and treatment to the local community.

The curriculum, which is developed in collaboration with clinical staff including the Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust, aims to foster your individual strengths and attributes, relating them to your own developing professional competence. We prepare you by encouraging a reasoned, evaluative and evidence-based, person-centred approach, encompassing reflection and independence in learning, and the ability to work effectively with others.
