Bachelor of Physiotherapy

Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours)

What is this course about?

CSU's Bachelor of Physiotherapy / Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) primarily prepares graduates eligible for registration and employment as physiotherapists.

CSU's Bachelor of Physiotherapy is a fully accredited course designed to expand the professional opportunities for students from regional and remote backgrounds, as well as addressing the shortage of health professionals in non-metropolitan areas. 

Graduates will not only have specific skills for practice in rural and remote Australia, but will also be equipped to practise in metropolitan areas and internationally.

What will I learn?

You will graduate with the knowledge to formulate physiotherapeutic diagnoses and provide appropriate programs of therapeutic exercise and treatments to those primarily with physical conditions. 

Studies in behavioural and biomedical science, as well as clinical experience will prepare you for employment as entry-level physiotherapists in a variety of healthcare settings, such as hospitals, community health centres, rehabilitation centres, and private practices.

You will also develop skills in learning, problem solving and decision making, which are essential for continued high-level practice as a physiotherapist.

This course includes practical experience through workplace learning.

Credit and articulation

If you are accepted into CSU's Bachelor of Physiotherapy and feel you have completed subjects or work experience that would be eligible for recognition, you can apply for credit after you have enrolled into the course. You will be required to submit sufficient documentation to the University for consideration. Common areas of credit are physiology and psychology. Credit may result in a reduced work load, but it is uncommon for credit to result in a reduced course duration.

CSU's Bachelor of Physiotherapy has been awarded full accreditation with the Australian Physiotherapy Council (APC). Graduates of the course are eligible for registration in all states and territories of Australia, and may also work internationally.
