The BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy has been designed by the University of Wolverhampton in close collaboration with clinical experts, to meet the knowledge needs of the modern healthcare industry. It is aligned with the specifications of the UK Health and Care Professional Council (HCPC), on the basis of which the Physiotherapy academic programmes are accredited. Consequently, you will be eligible to apply for registration and attain practitioner’s status in Greece and in the UK.
The BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy course enables you to develop the knowledge and skills to become a safe, competent and effective physiotherapy practitioner. Physiotherapists are essential contributors to improving people’s functional ability and quality of life. They achieve this, through their skills in health promotion and therapeutic and rehabilitation treatment and the use of preventive care measures.
What you will study
Our physiotherapy programme will allow you to study a range of subjects that provide the foundations of effective physiotherapy practice. At its core are the biological, physical, clinical and behavioural sciences. Together with the fundamentals of the therapeutic process, such as physical assessment skills and clinical reasoning, and a repertoire of safe, effective prevention and treatment skills, you will be trained to meet the needs of people of all ages.
You will also explore multifaceted aspects of public health, as well as develop vital research and clinical skills. During the course, you will have the opportunity to participate in physiotherapy practice, under the supervision of a physiotherapist, in a variety of collaborating settings (Filoktitis, Theseas, Arogi Rehab Centres, Metropolitan, Euromedica Hospitals, etc.).
As a prospective physiotherapy practitioner, you will appreciate the importance of evidence-based practice, critical thinking, reflection and continuous professional development. Moreover, the management and leadership knowledge and skills you’ll acquire will enable you to successfully operate within an organised health setting or develop your own entrepreneurial activity.
