Physiotherapists treat patients of all ages, helping them to maximise functional movement caused by accidents, illness and disability. Their expertise helps improve mobility, independence and quality of life.
This course prepares you to be a physiotherapist and includes the minimum of 1,000 clinical hours you need to qualify.
You'll learn how to treat patients and to communicate with them effectively, gaining hands-on experience from year one through your clinical placements in the National Health Service and private sector.
You'll also develop a thorough understanding of the human body, what happens when injuries occur and how to treat and manage them.
We've worked hard with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) to ensure the course content is highly relevant. Our course is validated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), so you can apply for registration with the HCPC and full membership of the CSP on graduation.
Our graduates enjoy outstanding success in the jobs market. Six months after graduating, 95 per cent of them are already in a clinical position, according to 2016 government statistics.
We advise students to check Health Education England for regular up to date information.
Applicants are required to complete an enhanced occupational health assessment to ensure that you are occupationally fit to work in the health and social care setting.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Our three-year, full-time course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to practise as a qualified independent physiotherapist in a clinical environment.
In your first year, you'll get to grips with physiotherapy fundamentals. Learning about rehabilitation and how patients develop and maintain physical function and movement are key components.
In years two and three the emphasis moves to more specialist areas such as musculoskeletal, respiratory and neurological issues. You'll also work on your decision-making, learning how to manage patients with complex conditions.
Throughout your course, you'll undertake clinical placements with NHS trusts or private healthcare organisations.
You'll enjoy hearing from some of the very best physiotherapists, who not only teach you but also share their extensive experience.
As well as gaining theoretical knowledge and practical skills, you'll also develop your ability to think clearly and critically - to make a sound professional judgment from the evidence available.
Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient's general lifestyle. You'll gain important life skills as well such as the ability to listen and to communicate effectively and to work as a member of a healthcare team.

YOUR FUTURE CAREER
A physiotherapy degree puts you in a powerful position when it comes to entering the world of work. Physiotherapists are in high demand across the UK and abroad.
You could opt for a career in the NHS, where physiotherapists are deployed across the medical spectrum, from intensive care and stroke rehabilitation to recovery from major surgery or trauma to care of the elderly and paediatrics. We are proud to say that our physiotherapy staff and students were involved with the delivery of the NHS Nightingale project during the COVID-19 pandemic.
You could specialise in the treatment of physical issues arising from one of the body's systems. This could mean concentrating on bones, joints and soft tissues (musculoskeletal), the brain and nervous system (neurology), the heart and blood circulation (cardiovascular) or the respiratory organs.
There are also plenty of career opportunities for physiotherapists in the private sector.
At the University of East London, we have graduates who have gone on to work in senior roles within the NHS (for example Consultant Physiotherapist in Sports Medicine). UEL graduates have also take key roles in International Sports Organisations (for example the Women's Tennis Association and Essex County Cricket Club), and Major Games Medical Teams (for example the Olympics and Commonwealth Games).
Whatever your particular interest, a UEL physiotherapy degree opens up a wealth of options for your future career.
