Course Description
Physiotherapy at the University of Birmingham is based in the world-leading School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences. You will study at a research-intensive university (member of the Russell Group) that offers teaching excellence and a long tradition of physiotherapy education.
Our four-year MSci Physiotherapy programme provides the time and space to ensure students optimally develop their clinical skills and experience alongside academic excellence.
Birmingham is a cosmopolitan and vibrant city with many cultural and social opportunities. It is also home to some outstanding healthcare facilities (e.g. Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham Children's Hospital, Royal Orthopaedic Hospital) that provide many practice-based placement opportunities for our students. We take a patient-centred approach to preparing students for placements, with time for reflection on these experiences, ensuring our graduates are prepared for a career as a physiotherapist in a range of contemporary and culturally-diverse healthcare settings.
As you might expect from a university like ours, the programme has a strong emphasis on science and research, and the school has many subject experts in physiotherapy, exercise and rehabilitation-related fields. In the final two years of the programme, you will have the opportunity to study some optional modules, allowing you to follow your specific interests, broaden your perspectives and study alongside other students in the school, including intercalating medical students.
We believe that university life is about the overall experience and there is a range of support to ensure students get the most out of their studies. You will have a Personal Tutor from your first day and the school has Wellbeing Tutors and Welfare Officers as part of a wide network of support around student wellbeing tailored to your personal circumstances.
On completion of the programme, our graduates are eligible to apply for full membership of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and registration as a physiotherapist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
