**Start your career in veterinary physiotherapy with this three-year blended (online and block attendance) degree**
Veterinary physiotherapists combine scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to provide treatment and rehabilitation for musculoskeletal conditions in animals, working to reduce pain, improve movement and restore normal muscle control and function. This course is accredited by the Animal Health Professions' Register (AHPR) ensuring that you will qualify with an ward that fully equips you to provide animal health services that protect animal welfare and the interests of animal owners and veterinary surgeons who will refer cases to you.
Veterinary physiotherapy has undergone a period of considerable growth over the last 10-15 years and practitioners now work in a range of settings – veterinary practices, veterinary therapy centres and independent practice – and always with the consent of a veterinary surgeon.
This degree introduces the methods and practices of veterinary physiotherapy, allowing you to become acquainted with the basic principles and practices. Throughout your course, you will specialise exclusively in canine and equine species and learn to work with both species. During attended weeks (typically 4 to 5 weeks per academic year), students benefit from working in the Veterinary Studies Centre with its hydrotherapy and veterinary facilities, and spend time in the Equine Arenas to practice and learn on the College's horses.
