Introduction:

The post-graduate masters degree in Physiotherapy is to provide focused clinical and practical training to students in preparation for professional practice. It is essential, therefore, which students entering the Masters of Physiotherapy have an undergraduate background in human physiology, anatomy and human movement. This major provides students with a combination of undergraduate options (nominated by the physiotherapy convenor) to prepare students accepted into Physiotherapy for intensive clinical education and training.
