About this program

The Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Griffith University in Brisbane runs over four years and prepares students for practice as physiotherapists in Australia. Throughout the course, you'll learn about human anatomy, movement, therapeutic techniques, and rehabilitation through a mix of classroom work, labs, and supervised placements. The curriculum balances theory and practice, helping you to develop clinical reasoning and hands-on care skills for a range of clients, from hospital inpatients to athletes.

Study is structured around semesters, with content delivered in units of study. Each unit carries a set number of credit points that contribute toward your degree requirements. Extensive professional placement is a core part of physiotherapy education. Expect to complete clinical rotations across multiple health settings, such as public hospitals, community health centres, and private practices in Brisbane and surrounding regions.

In the final year, most students undertake a capstone clinical placement or research project, applying skills while working alongside registered physiotherapists. This is designed to help you transition into the workforce with confidence around patient assessment, rehabilitation, and health promotion. You'll also learn about ethical practice and local health system issues, giving you a clear sense of how physiotherapists work within Australia's healthcare system.

If you're interested in health, enjoy practical learning, and want to make a real impact in people's lives, physiotherapy is a strong option. Graduates are eligible to apply for registration as physiotherapists in Australia, subject to meeting accreditation requirements. Like all international students, you can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) once you complete your degree. Make sure to confirm entry and placement details with Griffith University's official site.
