Bachelor in Physiotherapy (BSc) - University of Limerick

The Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy (BSc) is a four-year degree program which includes a total of 31 weeks of clinical practice in the last two years of the program. The first year provides a foundation in Anatomy and Physiology, communication and behaviour, and an Introduction to Physiotherapy Practice. Over the remaining three years you will undertake studies in the various disciplines of physiotherapy including cardiorespiratory care, clinical neurology and musculoskeletal disorders for people across the lifespan. Research and evidence-based practice are core elements underpinning the program.

This program is designed to prepare graduates who will contribute to the development of Physiotherapy worldwide through their ability to act as competent, reflective and innovative practitioners, and through their expertise in evidence-based practice. During the 4 years, there will be opportunities for you to engage in shared learning with other students at University of Limerick, undertake a wide variety of supervised clinical placements. The School culture is identified by students as inclusive and supportive in Athena Swan Self-Assessment and in March 2023 the School received a bronze Athena Swan award.

The Bachelor's in Physiotherapy (BSc) program is approved by CORU, the state registration board for Physiotherapy in Ireland.
