Bachelor of Physiotherapy
University of Canberra - Canberra
Overview
Learn the science behind body movement and gain valuable knowledge, understanding and insight about the amazing machine we call the human body. This four-year comprehensive course will help you explore the human body in detail and analyse how each muscle, bone, joint and ligament enables human movement and development across a variety of age ranges and disabilities. You will also develop a sophisticated understanding of how the lungs, heart, brain, and nerves work together, and how to improve peoples’ lives through exercise and movement.
Your study of advanced functional human anatomy combined with training from expert clinicians means you will be able to diagnose and offer effective therapeutic management solutions for a wide range of human movement disorders.
Once you graduate, you’ll open doors to further study, specialisation or a PhD in physiotherapy. This course also offers an embedded honours program for high-achieving students looking to progress into physiotherapy research or academic careers. The course is fully accredited by the Australian Physiotherapy Council, which means you are eligible for registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) from the day you graduate.
