Description
Physiotherapy is a popular degree course and competition for entry is intense - there are very few university courses that have more applicants per place. To be successful you will need to think carefully about all the stages of your application: from the preparation that you do before you apply, through to the interview.
Now in its 9th edition, Getting into Physiotherapy Courses is packed with detailed advice and up-to-date information on what you need to do to secure a place on the course of your choice and take the first steps towards your dream career.
Featuring first-hand case studies from current students and recent graduates, this guide will lead you through every step of the process, including:
Advice on choosing the right course and university for you
Information on common career paths for physiotherapists
Guidance on preparing a winning UCAS application and personal statement
Support on how to prepare for, and shine at, interview
Summaries of current issues in physiotherapy that you might be asked to discuss
