Applicant profile
We are looking for bright, motivated and dedicated applicants who can demonstrate a commitment to becoming a Physiotherapist. Having an awareness of the broad range of Physiotherapy practice is essential. Coming to see us at one of our Open Day presentations and some work-based shadowing of a Physiotherapist will help you to demonstrate this. You should possess good social and communication skills, have a caring disposition and be team-minded. An ability to be flexible, open-minded and a willingness to take part in interactive, lively sessions will help you to get the most out of your studies with us. Physiotherapy is a ‘hands-on’, skills-based profession, consequently our practical classes reflect this. Practicing techniques on each other in supervised mixed groups is the norm. This does involve some level of undressing to allow safe practice to occur. There are facilities and systems in place which preserve modesty.
Acceptance on the programme is subject to satisfactory Health and Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) clearance.
The above list of qualifications is not exhaustive. We consider other relevant qualifications of equivalent merit. Further information in this regard can be obtained by talking with representatives of the Physiotherapy team at one of our Open Days or contacting the University of Salford’s Central Admissions Unit tel: +44(0)161 295 3306, email ugadmissions@salford.ac.uk.
