Programme profile
This programme leads to one of the most rewarding careers in healthcare: Chartered Physiotherapist. Physiotherapy is the study and application of the scientific knowledge and professional skills required for the promotion of optimal health and well-being of adults and children through physical means. In addition to UCD-based learning you will also spend 1,000 hours on supervised clinical education in hospitals and clinical centres throughout Ireland and abroad (optional).
Programme content
The programme covers the broad spectrum of basic, applied and clinical sciences, and is structured so that in Stage 1 you learn the basic and applied sciences. This teaching largely takes place in the UCD Health Sciences Centre. While lectures may take place in larger groups, all hands-on practical physiotherapy skills are taught in small groups of no more than 20 students.
Practical skills teaching takes place with close supervision in specifically designed clinical skills laboratories in the School. Towards the end of your first year, you will spend time in a clinical setting, putting theory into practice. By the end of your degree programme you will have completed 1,000 hours of clinical practice, which is arranged for each student by the clinical co-ordinators in the School. Clinical practice takes place in hospitals and clinical centres around Ireland.
