Application Process Applicants will be contacted after the Friday 1st March application deadline. Successful applicants will be invited to attend an interview in March 2024. Applicants must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Physiotherapy as a career and would benefit from showing prior work experience (paid or voluntary) in healthcare, support work or coaching capacities. We encourage applicants to demonstrate evidence of care/compassion, team-working and communication skills. Applicants with a second-class degree in a relevant field or those with first or upper-second class degrees in a non-specified field, but who demonstrate extensive health-related industry experience, may be referred to the programme leader for consideration. Interviews will be offered to applicants who fulfil the entry requirements and demonstrate an understanding of the profession, an empathetic nature and a commitment to studying this professional course. Competition for places can be high. Meeting the entry criteria will not guarantee you an interview, and receiving an interview will not guarantee that you will receive an offer. You will be required to have a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) check. A satisfactory occupational health assessment is required. International students who don't meet the entry requirements If you are an international student and do not yet meet the entry criteria for this course, you may be eligible for our International Premasters Programme.
