Physiotherapy BSc
I chose King’s because it has the best academic reputation of the universities which offer physiotherapy. The quality of teaching is excellent, and being part of the largest medical education organisation in Europe gives you real confidence in your professional learning.

I love the variety of the physiotherapy course. I might be in the lab in the morning, using brain specimens to study neuroanatomy, and in the afternoon I’m practising manual therapy techniques on my fellow students. You also start seeing patients early at King’s, with a clinical placement at the end of the first year. Working on a stroke ward, helping people to learn to walk again, was an amazing experience and one which really reaffirmed my choice of career.

King’s also provides students with a wide range of employment opportunities to supplement your student loans. I work as a telephone fundraiser in the evening, and I’ve even been back to my old school as a Student Ambassador to promote King’s to sixth-formers. And just to fill what little extra time I have, I have also just enrolled with the free e-learning service to brush up my Spanish!.
