Our Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) equips you to assess and manage a range of health conditions. With many courses taught by registered practising physiotherapists, the degree places an emphasis on real-world experience. In over 750 hours of work-based training, you’ll work with children and adults of all ages in multiple settings which may include: public and private health organisations; schools; rehabilitation centres; sporting organisations; aged care and more.
You’ll gain high-level knowledge and skills in:
- human anatomy, biomechanics and physiology
- clinical assessment and management of patients with cardiothoracic, musculoskeletal and neurological dysfunction, and developmental disorders
- safe patient handling practices and patient education
- broad public health issues
- evidence-based, patient-centred care.
You’ll regularly access our purpose-built training facilities and state-of-the-art simulation suites—among Australasia’s most advanced. In addition, you’ll benefit from collaborative learning with key complementary disciplines, speech pathology and occupational therapy.
From third year, you’ll choose one of two streams—research* or industry—and undertake a major project. Research will hone your skills in developing new knowledge; industry focuses on integrating research into practice.
