What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapists are health care professionals who focus on prevention, assessment and treatment of physical disorders and the promotion of movement and health.

The Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) is a four year undergraduate course within the School of Primary Health Care, in the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. The BPT is part of the Health Sciences program based at the Monash Peninsula campus.

In recognition that this is a time of exponential growth in knowledge, the course aims to produce graduates with a flexible skill set who are well equipped to continue learning and advancing their skills throughout their careers.
