BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy

Health Sciences University

Physiotherapy is a science‑based profession that helps people improve movement, function and quality of life through exercise, education, advice and hands‑on clinical practice. The BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy course is designed to develop autonomous, reflective practitioners who put people at the heart of care and who are ready for the breadth of modern employment opportunities.

You’ll build strong foundations in human movement, assessment and clinical reasoning, while developing the professional skills you need to practise safely and inclusively: communication, consent, safeguarding, ethics and reflective practice. Throughout the course you will learn to manage musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and neurological presentations, and you’ll develop confidence in promoting health and supporting people living with long‑term conditions.

What makes this course distinctive is its deliberate preparation for both NHS and non‑NHS routes. Alongside traditional placement learning, the course is designed to make greater use of private practice, community and student‑led clinical services, reflecting the changing landscape of physiotherapy practice. You’ll also learn alongside students from other health disciplines at HSU, strengthening your ability to work effectively in multi‑professional teams.
