Physiotherapists aim to enhance the movement and function of individuals and populations across their lifespan, especially when actual or potential impairments and disabilities relate to the musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, and neurological systems. In the Bachelor of Physiotherapy, you’ll learn and practice techniques to enhance functional movement by undertaking biomedical, physical and behavioural science courses, as well as physiotherapy courses. Before graduation, you will be required to demonstrate physiotherapy knowledge and skills required for entry-level clinical physiotherapy practice. This degree provides an innovative, student-centred and employability-focused curriculum with a strong emphasis on client-centred and evidence-based practice. From the end of your third year, you’ll participate in a series of full-time professional placements, and put your skills and knowledge into practice. For more course information, visit Bachelor of Physiotherapy at GU.
