About Bsc (hons) Physiotherapy in University of East London (UEL)

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 Care Professions Council (HCPC), so you can apply for registration of 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. 

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.
