Study Details: MSc 3 years part-time. Duration varies for PGDip
Veterinary physiotherapy plays a vital role in helping animals recover or adapt from injury or surgery. Working with vets, owners, and businesses, you’ll ensure animals have the best quality of life after they recover.
At Nottingham, our veterinary physiotherapy course is part-time so that you can continue your career while you learn. With an emphasis on hands-on learning with real animals, plus all the theory. We’ll ensure you have the skills you need to become a registered veterinary physiotherapist.
Ideal for veterinary nurses and surgeons, musculoskeletal practitioners, as well as other related professions – for example defence animal trainers.
Applicants need a first degree in an animal/science subject, at a minimum of 2:2. Prior learning experience may be taken into account for mature applicants.
You will require a good working knowledge of the care, management and handling of dogs and horses. This should amount to at least six weeks experience – three with dogs and three with horses. Additionally five days experience in a veterinary practice is required, ideally with a mix of large and small animals.
We would expect some of your work experience to have taken place in the last 12 months. Yo will be given a formative workbook to complete during the summer.
We welcome applications from qualified veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and human physiotherapists. Applicants with non-animal and science subjects at degree level are also welcome to apply.
