Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: B160

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

Our BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy degree is designed to help you explore the anatomy, physiology, and science behind physiotherapy practice. You will embark on a professional journey, learning how we use and treat our bodies and brains for active, healthy, and fulfilling lives. The course is structured to ensure you develop the interpersonal skills and professionalism needed to work in partnership with users, carers, and other professionals.

Course Highlights

  • Accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.

  • Learn how to optimise people’s health and wellbeing by helping them reach their full potential through established and contemporary physiotherapeutic approaches, using behavioural science and digital health.

  • Gain real insights from experienced and registered working practitioners with a wide variety of professional experience.

  • Bring your learning to life through person-focused, practice-based learning opportunities.

  • Our mission is to provide a range of university and practice-based learning experiences using values-driven, supportive, and authentic learning environments, nurturing confident, independent-thinking graduates.

  • People with lived experience contribute across the programme, enriching your understanding.

Learning Style

You are taught primarily through a combination of lectures and seminars, allowing opportunities to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in groups. In addition to formally scheduled contact time, you are encouraged to access academic support from staff within the course team and the wide range of services available to you within the University. Our learning and teaching utilises innovative approaches to provide engaging and authentic experiences, including the use of simulated learning environments, tools, and activities.

Facilities

You may have the opportunity to gain invaluable experience of treating patients during your practice-based learning at our Winchester Health Clinic. This would be supervised by an attending HCPC-accredited practitioner to help prepare you for your future career. The clinic is managed by the University and is located at the Winchester Sport and Leisure Park in the Bar End area of the city.

Our Connections

You will gain real insights from experienced and registered working practitioners. We historically offer a diverse range of practice learning experiences, including opportunities such as high-calibre clinical placements, leadership placements working alongside senior leaders, and cutting-edge research placements with local teams. There have also been private practice opportunities and partnerships with providers of remote healthcare services.

Hello!

My name is Jo and I am the official representative for the University of Winchester on The Student Room.

I have lived in Winchester for the previous 7 years, and have been working at the University since 2018. I have studied at undergraduate level, and have lots of experience to pass on from my time at university. Living in Winchester has been great so far. It is a beautiful, historic city that has great links to bigger cities such as London and Southampton. I am happy to help you with any questions you have about the University or life in Winchester (including the best sushi spots!).

University of Winchester open days

Are you thinking of applying to this university?

Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.

Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
