    About

    The Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) (Honours) degree available at Curtin is a four-year undergraduate honours course that prepares graduates for professional physiotherapy employment as well as providing a pathway for ongoing research and further learning. Physiotherapy is a primary contact health profession concerned with the prevention, assessment and management of physical and/or mental health disorders that affect people's movement and/or function. A physiotherapist works with people of all ages with wide ranging health needs related to musculoskeletal, neurological or cardiorespiratory disorders. Physiotherapists are empathetic listeners who have highly developed problem-solving skills, excellent manual handling skills and a desire to continually improve and learn. At Curtin we believe that learning occurs when students construct their own knowledge, facilitated by our staff and the authentic experiences we provide, enabling students to create pragmatic goals and solutions to typical clinical `problems'. We value reflective practice, so that students learn to critically analyse and synthesise evidence relevant to a clinical problem, make decisions about possible management strategies and monitor the success of those strategies.

    If you want to package your course with a Curtin English course, you can submit your application with your course application documents to streamline the process.

    If your application is successful, you will receive an offer that you will need to accept or reject.

    If you accept your offer, you will receive a Confirmation of Enrolment ­– a document from Curtin that details your course, how long you will be studying the course, and the tuition fees. This document can be used for acquiring a student visa.

    Apply to the Australian government for your student visa. Gaining a student visa will allow you to participate in full-time study in Australia and work up to 40 hours in a fortnight. If you’re under 18 years of age, you must have approved accommodation and welfare arrangements in place before a visa can be issued.
