Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy)

Description of the Programme

Physiotherapists are health care professionals who use exercise, movement analysis, manual therapy and specialist techniques to restore, improve and promote health. Physiotherapy is therefore concerned with the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health and the prevention of disability in people of all ages. It involves the promotion of motor development and coordination, physical methods to control pain, therapeutic exercise for impaired muscle systems, assisting in the physical management of the cardio-respiratory system, or improving balance and motor control for better performance and function. From your first year, you will build a strong foundation of applied study in medical science, physiotherapy science, anatomy, therapeutic exercises, professional ethics and psychology as well as social and behavioural sciences to prepare you to care for people with musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory and other conditions using physical techniques to reduce pain, improve movement and restore muscle control for better mobility.
