    About

    Start your career in veterinary physiotherapy with this three-year online degree.

    This degree introduces the basic methods and practices of veterinary physiotherapy. Veterinary physiotherapists combine scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to provide treatment and rehabilitation for musculoskeletal conditions in animals, working to reduce pain, improve movement and restore normal muscle control and function. Veterinary physiotherapy has undergone a period of considerable growth over the last 10-15 years and practitioners now work in a range of settings – veterinary practices, veterinary therapy centres and independent practice – and always with the consent of a veterinary surgeon.

    The programme is accredited by the Animal Health Professions Register (AHPR) and on successful completion of the course, students will be eligible to join the AHPR register of Veterinary Physiotherapists.

    This degree is offered by one of the university's partner colleges, Plumpton College, based at Lewes, East Sussex.
