Physiotherapists are qualified health professionals who are skilled in a number of areas, including the assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation of acute and chronic muscloskeletal, neurological and cardiovascular disease. The first two years of the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) are identical to the Bachelor of Physiotherapy program. If you are a high achieving student, you can undertake Honours over the final two years of the degree, allowing you to complete a research project and thesis to expand your learning. You will engage in hands on, practical sessions from your first year of study, and support your theoretical understanding of the human body through lectures, group sessions and online supported learning. You will gain knowledge and skills in a range of areas including anatomy, manual therapy, pharmacology, physiology, radiology, sociology, pathology & kinesiology. You will also develop the ability to clinically reason and translate research into clinical practice, to provide the highest level of patient-centred care. Some of your subjects are delivered with other health professional students so you will have an interprofessional experience, gaining team and leadership skills. Throughout your degree, you will undertake extensive clinical placements of at least 1094 hours.
