Physiotherapists also help people achieve optimal health – from schoolchildren to older people in residential care.You will work towards joining a well-established profession of over 60,000 practitioners, engaging in opportunities to learn with current health professionals and physiotherapists on placement with our health board partners across Wales.Graduates will be eligible for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council and membership of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, bringing a wide range of employment opportunities (subject to HCPC and CSP approval). You will learn about the improvement of physical and mental health and wellbeing through the promotion of movement, activity and exercise, and social interaction. You will also undertake interprofessional learning and working with a range of other disciplines.Modules focusing on basic and medical sciences, and foundations of assessment, diagnosis and management, are developed throughout all levels of the programme to underpin the management of increasingly complex situations.Unfortunately as this course is funded by the NHS and students have to have placements in the local NHS Health Board we are unable to accept applications from overseas (Non EU) students.
