Course summary
Would you like to help people rebuild their lives after illness or injury? Are you compassionate and patient, with a talent to inspire others when the going gets tough? If so, studying physiotherapy at Northumbria University might be your first step towards a rewarding life-long career. With this Physiotherapy BSc (Hons) degree you will be prepared for the challenges of this profession by combining hands-on placements in some of the UK’s top teaching hospitals with classroom-based learning and simulated sessions in our state-of-the-art Clinical Skills Centre. At Northumbria you can build your confidence away from the hustle and bustle of a real hospital, all whilst developing the wide range of skills that this particular physiotherapy course aims to instill. This Physiotherapy degree is delivered by a team of practising physiotherapists and lecturers, a number of whom are engaged in research projects, meaning that you learn directly from people who actively work as physiotherapists. Physiotherapists are kind and caring professionals who help and treat people with the physical problems caused by illness, accident or ageing. This is a popular career which offers variety and security. On graduating with a physiotherapy degree, you can expect to work in a wide range of settings from hospitals to gyms, GP surgeries or with people in their own homes. In line with the principles and values which underpin the NHS constitution, the University expects all students undertaking programmes which lead to registration as a health professional to demonstrate the NHS values.
