Allied health courses at Bournemouth University

What you can study here

Bournemouth University teaches 4 allied health professions at pre-registration level, training operating department practitioners, occupational therapists, paramedics and physiotherapists. Every course listed on this page is approved by its regulator, which is what makes it count: finishing an approved course is what entitles you to apply for registration, and registration is what lets you hold the protected title and be appointed to the job.

The provision here is undergraduate, which is the standard route in from school or college. Expect a mix of taught university blocks and supervised clinical placement, with the placement weeks scheduled around the academic year rather than in the holidays. There is also an apprenticeship route. That one works in the opposite order to everything else: you need an employer to take you on and sponsor the training first, and the university place follows from the job rather than the other way round.

No typical offer has been published in the open data for any course at this provider, so this page does not state one. Grades, tariff points and interview requirements change year to year and the university’s own course pages are the only reliable version — each course below links straight to its record.
