This programme is designed to prepare graduates who will contribute to the development of Physiotherapy worldwide through their ability to act as competent, reflective and innovative practitioners, and through their expertise in evidence- based practice. During the 4 years, there will be opportunities for you to engage in shared learning with other students at the University of Limerick, and be involved in peer learning and assessment.
