Physiotherapy / prosthetics and orthotics
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anybody has been in a similar boat, or if there are official university representatives on here who can advise.
I am interested in studying physiotherapy or prosthetics and orthotics. However, my A- Levels are in French, Spanish, History and English Literature. My degree is in French and Spanish. I have been a languages teacher for 13 years. I have GCSEs from A*-B, including Maths and Science, but those are my only qualifications in those subjects. Has anyone been in a similar position - ie holds a degree and has worked for years - and been given offers? I have strong personal reasons (family members and me) for wanting to study physiotherapy or prosthetics and orthotics, so motivation is strong to do the courses.
Thank you

Hey,
That is great that you want to study Physiotherapy or Prosthetics and Orthotics.
As you already hold a degree i would contact admissions at the different universities that you would want to study at.
They will be able to give you the correct information on your next steps.
Alternatively, i would recommend that you attend open events at a variety of different universities. You can speak to the admissions department, the lecturers and current students to determine what course and uni is right for you.
I hope this helps and good luck!

Hey! That's awesome you're interested in studying physiotherapy ◡̈. I know that some schools will take applicants who don't have a sports science/biology background, as long as they can show they have some sort of experience working with patients or in a healthcare setting (or just in an environment that they can connect to physiotherapy practice). I would definitely encourage you to reach out to schools and talk to advisors there! Hope this helps ◡̈.
