Physiotherapy (Pre-registration) Oxford Brookes University

Overview

The Physiotherapy (Pre-registration) programme at the Oxford Brookes University uses an interprofessional approach to learning, with some modules shared with other health and social care students. 

Quick Facts:

• In Year 1, we’ll introduce you to management of patients with neurological, musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory dysfunctions. You’ll consider some of the controversial and sensitive work of physiotherapists. This might include working with populations who have experienced racism, who identify as non-binary or transgender, and who are in conflict situations. 
• In Year 2, you’ll complete modules in leadership. You’ll choose specialised topics including psychological interventions, women’s health, or sports and trauma physiotherapy.
• Clinical practice includes a 3-week observational placement in January after your first semester. Two 6-week placements in Year 1 and three 6-week placements in Year 2. You could experience NHS acute, NHS community, and the private, voluntary, and independent sectors.
• Everything you learn will prepare you for your final dissertation, with opportunities to take part in research projects with local clinical or research partners such as MORes.
