BSc Physiotherapy - Mature Student

Hi,

I’m applying for BSc Physiotherapy to start in September 2025 (applying to Bournemouth, Southampton, Winchester and Chichester but my first choice is Bournemouth) and was just wondering whether there are many mature students on these courses? I’ll be 24 in first year :smile:

My other question was when not on placement, what does a typical timetable look like (how many hours per day and days per week etc?)

If anyone has any insight I’d really appreciate it!

There are usually lots of mature students on healthcare courses so your age isn't anything to worry about.

Try emailing the departments you are applying to and ask for a copy of this year's timetable. It will give you an idea of what will be required of you.
