Program Overview

The Diploma of Health Science introduces students to the physiological, psychological, social and cultural elements involved in health care, and provides the foundation for further studies in a health-related degree program at the University of South Australia.
Entry into 1st year of the University of South Australia
Leading to: Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours)
The Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) will teach you to assess, treat and prevent health conditions across various areas of practice. This includes sport, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and neurological disciplines.
You’ll start practical courses straight away and will learn foundational medical sciences in courses such as human anatomy and physiology. Social and psychological determinants of human health and function are covered in the inter-professional course Foundations of Health, where you’ll work with students studying podiatry, health sciences, occupational therapy and exercise physiology. You also begin your training in physiotherapy-specific skills from day one, starting with biomechanics and muscle assessment.
You’ll also study important aspects of pharmacology and movement analysis, challenge your understanding of the mechanisms and management of pain the biomedical model of health, and learn how to work collaboratively with patients to help them achieve their best outcomes. Experiential teaching is delivered through clinical placements that train you in the prevention and treatment of disease and disability.
You’ll graduate with qualifications to not only work as an autonomous practitioner concerned with prevention and management of disability and illness in the workplace or community, but also as a member of a multidisciplinary healthcare team. This holistic view of a patient’s health recovery is critical, especially across the different types of care needed for people of all ages.
