Program Overview

Part of the medical team helping a mother to regain movement after a stroke. Getting an athlete back on the pitch after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament. Easing a four-year-old’s long-term breathing problems, caused by cystic fibrosis.

All of these scenarios have one thing in common; a physiotherapist.

Amongst a team of skilled healthcare professionals – including doctors and nurses – physiotherapists independently identify, assess and analyse physical problems caused by injury, illness or ageing and treat them by taking a holistic approach using skills such as manual therapy, exercise or electrotherapy.

Course Content

In Year 1, you’ll build a strong foundation of professional practice skills. Your introductory units will cover musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, and neurology in detail covering theory and practical sessions.

Year 2

Year 2 has two units of study, the first delivered on campus where you will develop assessment and treatment skills of the musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and neurological systems. The second unit will be a placement.

You’ll build on and integrate the knowledge from year one, focusing on patient management skills. You’ll also undertake three practice placements, supervised by highly qualified clinicians and supported by our academic staff.

When you go into your second and third years, you’ll complete clinical placements – and you’ll have your own patient caseload.

Year 3

In Year 3, you’ll study four units, with one placement unit (two 5-week placements) and three academic units.

Focusing on evidence-based practice, the transition to professional practice as a new graduate, and research and critical thinking skills. You’ll have the opportunity to select options and use your research knowledge and skills to develop a research proposal. The final unit in year three is a practice placement, that is organised by yourself. This gives you the opportunity to choose a specific area of interest or take a placement overseas.

Career Prospect

Graduates from our course usually begin their physiotherapy careers by working as band 5 physiotherapists, on rotation positions in NHS hospitals. Some of our recent graduates are working for Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust and for East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust.

However, as a chartered physiotherapist, you could work in the NHS or the private sector. The organisations you might work at include hospitals, sports clubs, in the community and care homes, and schools.

You may also decide to refine your skills and specialise in a particular area, such as musculoskeletal, neurological or cardiorespiratory, or focus on women’s health or mental health. To specialise, you’ll need to complete a postgraduate qualification, such as our MSc Advanced Physiotherapy course.
