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 qualified veterinary physiotherapist.
Ideal for veterinary nurses and surgeons, musculoskeletal practitioners, as well as other related professions - for example, defence animal trainers.
We do not accept international/EU applications for this course unless the applicant is already domicile in the UK.
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.
