Welcome toThe University ofNottingham, Divisionof PhysiotherapyEducation
Physiotherapy is not only one of the most popular coursesat Nottingham, but Nottingham is possibly the mostpopular place to study physiotherapy in the UK. We believethat this popularity is based on our reputation for providingeducation within a supportive and nurturing environment,which not only develops the individual, but produces firstclass physiotherapists.
This reputation is borne out of two philosophieswhich underpin our course:• All students accepted onto the course atNottingham have the capability to succeed.We believe that our central role is to ensure thatthis happens and we facilitate it by promotingopen access to staff, ensuring that all students arepart of our supportive personal tutoring system,and encouraging peer support and learning.• We believe in a holistic approach to patientcare, which encompasses the physical, mentaland social aspects of healthcare. Students areintroduced to patients at an early stage of theprogramme and the academic team work withclinical educators to ensure a wide range ofexperiences are gained.We are extremely proud of our graduates andbelieve that they are a major factor in ourcontinuing popularity; they really are a positiveadvert for what we seek to achieve. It is worthnoting that they tend not to have difficultyobtaining employment, despite the recentgraduate employment issues, and are muchsought after by potential employers.Finally, I hope that you will consider visitingus at the Division and applying to studyphysiotherapy at Nottingham.
