Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession concerned with restoring and maintaining movement, function, and physical wellbeing across a wide range of clinical conditions. Physiotherapists work with people of all ages and across many settings, from hospitals and rehabilitation centres to community clinics, sports environments, and people's homes. They assess, diagnose, and treat conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems, using a combination of manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education to achieve outcomes that are central to quality of life.
At King's College London, this three-year full-time BSc Physiotherapy is built on a contemporary science-based curriculum that prepares you for flexible practice across the changing health and social care environment. You will develop a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and the clinical sciences alongside the assessment and treatment skills that effective physiotherapy demands. The programme emphasises person-centred care and places individual choice and population-level awareness at the heart of clinical practice.
Clinical placements are a central feature, giving you direct experience across a range of settings and patient groups before you qualify. The entry tariff is 152 points.
Physiotherapy graduates who complete an approved programme and meet the Health and Care Professions Council's standards are eligible to register and practise as physiotherapists. Career destinations span NHS hospitals and community services, private practice, sports and exercise settings, occupational health, neurological rehabilitation, paediatrics, and women's health. The profession is experiencing sustained demand, and the scope of physiotherapy practice continues to expand as advanced roles develop at the interface between physiotherapy and medicine.
Postgraduate study in specialist clinical areas, research, or advanced practice is available for physiotherapists who wish to develop expertise, and the King's context provides a strong platform for that progression.
