Physiotherapy is a career with an incredibly positive impact, helping people of all ages to reach their health and wellbeing goals. It’s a career ideally suited to great communicators, who can put the patient’s story at the centre of their care. Skilled physiotherapy integrates the physical with the emotional to build a complete picture. As a physiotherapy student at UEA, you’ll join a close community of therapy staff and students who create a positive learning environment and support your wellbeing throughout the course. Our Physiotherapy team are a dynamic group of active researchers and clinicians, with clinical, research, education and leadership expertise. Our interdisciplinary ethos means that you’ll be studying with a range of allied health professional students in sectors you’ll encounter in your working life. Our programme offers a unique combination of opportunities, including case-based teaching to reflect real practice, learning anatomy using dissection, placements that start in Year One and an elective professional development placement in the final year which you’ll choose and organise within the UK or internationally. As a physiotherapy student you’ll learn how to apply problem-solving and clinical reasoning to assess and evaluate a client’s health. You’ll master specific assessment and treatment techniques. You’ll gain understanding of how to manage both yourself and those around you. And you’ll develop and hone the interpersonal skills key to enabling the negotiation of action plans, and to engaging effectively with patients, carers, and the multidisciplinary healthcare team. At UEA you’ll benefit from our bespoke facilities for learning physiotherapy practical skills and enjoy state of the art simulation suites. You’ll experience a wide range of placements throughout and beyond the East Anglia region. Learning in Norwich means you’ll benefit from the buzz of a vibrant city, a stunning coastline and diverse rural communities. Physiotherapy careers are diverse, and as a graduate from our BSc Physiotherapy degree you’ll encounter many exciting opportunities to apply your clinical, research, education and leadership skills. These include, health and social care, higher education, independent and private practice, the voluntary sector including charities, the military, prison service, industry, and sports clubs.
