You’ll explore all aspects of practice, and you’ll delve into the science behind physiotherapy, building the skills and understanding you need to work in this hands-on and rewarding profession. You’ll look at neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapy through to cardiovascular conditions and you’ll have the opportunity to build a wide knowledge base.

You’ll hear about the experiences and viewpoints of service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group, and use specialist clinical teaching facilities and world-leading research facilities, via the University’s new Daphne Steele Building (due to open in 2024).
