Master of Physiotherapy

University of Tasmania (UTAS)

This course will give you the qualifications and skills you need to become a practicing physiotherapist in Australia. Developed in collaboration with health professionals, industry leaders and professional bodies, this course will equip you with the future facing capabilities required to adapt and respond to rapidly occurring changes in health, and the health system. Through problem-based and practical learning experiences, you will be introduced to a range of health care settings that have widespread community health impact. You will participate in community-based projects and authentic experiential learning activities that develop and apply lean system thinking skills, preparing you to respond to complex health care problems. These will build your capacity for work readiness, ensuring client-centred, quality and safe health care across diverse service delivery settings experienced in regional, rural and metropolitan landscapes. It is a full- time course that runs over four semesters, with 50 credit points (4 units) each semester. Attendance in Launceston is required at least 1 day per week in addition to the two weeklong residential schools per semester (currently only available in Launceston). Placements each semester are organised close to where you are living (in Tasmania only) wherever possible. Throughout the four stages of the course, you will engage in online and independent learning, including weekly, one day, face-to-face workshops with staff in Launceston. You also need to be available to attend two week-long Residential Schools in Launceston each semester, and engage in Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities throughout the course as part of the units. These include supervised professional experience placements (PEP) across the program.
