Physiotherapy

Oxford Brookes University

Being a physiotherapist can be a highly rewarding and varied career. You could be treating people in hospital or at home, working across different teams in the community or in a specialist practice, helping everyone from athletes to office workers. At Oxford Brookes, we see physiotherapy as a combination of the physical and psychological in promoting health and wellbeing. On our course, you’ll gain up to 1000 hours of practice-based learning in different clinical settings. This could be in an NHS hospital, a research lab, a community setting or even a sports club. You will gain experience of various scenarios with service users and actors in a simulation environment. Clinical partners and service users are involved in the design and teaching of our programmes throughout the course. With high employability rates normally over 90%, our course gives you excellent opportunities to find an opening in your chosen field when you graduate. If you already have a relevant bachelor's degree but would like to pursue physiotherapy, we offer a pre-registration master's course. This course is ranked 5th in the UK Guardian 2025 subject rankings.
