The UTS Master of Physiotherapy is a two-year, graduate-entry degree leading to eligibility for registration as a physiotherapist in Australia. 

Innovative and practice-based in approach, the course's core areas of study include musculoskeletal, neurological, orthopaedic and cardiorespiratory physiotherapy across the lifespan.

In addition to core areas of physiotherapy, students learn about evidence-based and professional practice, interprofessional teamwork and leadership, and undertake a research project. 

Advanced subjects include treatment of complex patients, health promotion and community rehabilitation. 

All students develop a professional portfolio designed to reflect professional competencies.

This course has been developed in consultation with a working party of experienced physiotherapy clinicians in hospitals and private practice. 

The discipline has strong links with industry.

Over the two-year course, students complete approximately 700–800 hours of clinical placement sourced for them, addressing a variety of client groups across their lifespan. 

Clinical placements in hospitals and private practice are carefully selected to complement in-class learning and offer supervision by experienced physiotherapists. 

Students are allocated placements within the Sydney metropolitan area, with potential opportunities available in rural and regional settings.
