Program Overview

Bachelor of Physiotherapy with Honours

Program Summary

Physiotherapy is an important profession in the healthcare and rehabilitation discipline. The profession offers services to people of various age groups in order to maintain, improve or restore movement ability and function which are affected due to injury, disease, disability or the process of ageing. In this programme, students will develop the skills to evaluate, identify and treat human movement problems using a wide range of assessment tools and therapeutic interventions. In addition, students will be trained to educate the public on active lifestyle in order to prevent movement deterioration which normally leads to decline in functional independence and quality of life.
