BSc Physiotherapy Entry Requirements

edited * I was looking at doing a 2nd degree in Physiotherapy starting in 2025, due to looking for a career change.

I got good GCSE grades and A-Level/BTEC grades but they were in the arts, so I have just completed my Level 3 Diploma in Massage Therapy for Sport, and I’m currently doing my Level 4 Certificate in Massage Therapy for Sport.

I’m looking at applying to University of Chichester, University of Southampton, and University of Winchester.

Would these qualifications (plus the experience from completing massages) be enough to apply?

What are the entry requirements for the unis you are interested in? What is you first degree and A levels? Have you considered a pre-reg masters, which condenses the course into 2 years instead? You can search for HCPC-approved courses on the NHS course finder:

Personally speaking I think it is good enough, do not worry. One year of experience is really good.
