Programme Description | Physiotherapy is a health care field that work in partnership with their clients/patients to help people get better and stay well. Physiotherapists also work closely with general practitioners and other health clinicians to plan and manage treatment. Using advanced techniques and evidence-based care, physiotherapists assess, diagnose, treat and prevent a wide range of health conditions and movement disorders. Physiotherapy helps repair damage, reduce stiffness and pain, increase mobility and improve quality of life. Physiotherapy extends from health promotion to injury prevention, acute care, rehabilitation, maintenance of functional mobility, chronic disease management, patient and career education and occupational health. The four year Bachelors level programme of 480 credits is structured with course work of 120 credits each at levels 5 and 6 and 240 credits at level 7 including a Research project. It contains a 778 hours of clinical practise spread over 3 semesters. |
