Getting in

As the university states it

Academic requirements UK honours degree 2:1 (or equivalent) in a discipline related to physiotherapy that contained a substantial element of human physiology within its programme of study. Experience of the process of research is essential. A diploma or degree in physiotherapy is not appropriate. Additional requirements Before applying to the course, it is recommended that you are aware of the diverse nature of physiotherapy practice. Relevant visits to hospitals, voluntary work or part-time employment in an area where the impact of disability is experienced is desirable. Selection will be based on your educational qualifications, academic references, medical fitness and interview performance. Students must be able to undertake the role of physiotherapists from a fitness point of view. If applicants have queries in relation to this aspect they should contact a member of the admissions team to discuss their individual requirements. On commencing the course all students will have to undertake occupational health screening. As a physiotherapist criminal records are not deemed as spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) (Exceptions) Order 1975. If you have a criminal conviction, we ask you to contact a member of the admissions team to discuss the impact on your suitability for eligibility to apply for registration with the regulatory body and employability. All students have to undertake a PVG check on commencing the course. The cost of this process has to be met by the student.
