University of Winchester runs 4 approved pre-registration allied health courses, training occupational therapists, dietitians and physiotherapists, based in Winchester, South East. Below: every course, the route and award each one leads to, the entry requirements where the university has published them, and how the offer compares with neighbouring providers.
What you can study here
University of Winchester teaches 3 allied health professions at pre-registration level, training occupational therapists, dietitians 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.
A typical offer is published for 1 of the 4 courses here and not for the 3 others, so those rows are left blank rather than filled in with a guess. Where an offer is published, treat it as the shape of the offer rather than a guarantee — these courses are interviewed, and they carry DBS and occupational health requirements on top of the grades. 1 course carries a UCAS code, so it is applied for through the central system rather than direct to the university.
