University College Cork’s Graduate Entry Physiotherapy program offers an accelerated route for graduates from any discipline (related to the discipline of physiotherapy) to gain a recognized qualification in physiotherapy practice. The constantly advancing and evolving nature of healthcare requires that Cork’s program not only prepare students for current healthcare practice but that it produces graduates who will act as agents for future change and progress. This program therefore aims to equip Cork graduates with the clinical and research skills, and professional attributes required to work and develop as competent practitioners, researchers and agents for change within the evolving healthcare environment.
Entry Requirements
Students will need to have a completed undergraduate degree with a minimum GPA of 3.3/4.0 or 77%. Degrees must be in a related field (biological sciences, sport science, or health programs). Human Anatomy and Human Physiology are required.
Students must also show they have research and physiotherapy experience and will have to submit evidence to support this.
Should students meet all the above requirements, they will then be required to attend an interview. For more information on the application process, please contact KOM.
