For this, students must be able to exercise sound judgement in a variety of clinical situations and be able to evaluate and adapt their therapeutic skills to meet the needs of the individual patient. Graduates possess the knowledge, skills and professional attitudes that are required for the reliable, ethical and effective practice of physiotherapy. As lifelong learners and active consumers of the professional and scientific literature, graduates are able to fulfil their roles in developing the profession through continuing education and/or participating in investigative and evaluative projects. Their sense of social and professional responsibility is further recognised by their efforts to educate clients, the public and the next generation of therapists. The training will involve both periods of theory and clinical experience gained by meeting and working with patients. During training, the students may also get the chance to work with students from other disciplines. This is a beneficial foundation for the team building which will become an essential part of your working life.
