Clinical education in the Sydney Master of Physiotherapy

The Sydney Master of Physiotherapy is a two-year, graduate-entry program, intended for students coming from an undergraduate degree in a related field who wish to gain the requirements to become a physiotherapist.

The clinical education/work integrated learning experiences are generally highly regarded by students within the program. Provision of appropriate placements for students within the Faculty of Health Sciences is a significant aspect and is coordinated by the Work Integrated Learning unit within the faculty. All placements are provided to students with the view to meet the program objectives, unit of study objectives, Australian professional accreditation requirements and (where appropriate) Australian professional registration requirements.
Clinical placements are undertaken in both the public and private sectors. These placements further the opportunities to develop an understanding of the practice of physiotherapy, and its place in the contemporary health system.
As part of this course eligible students also have the opportunity to take part in the FHS Abroad program, which involves academic study and a 4- to 6-week placement with non-government organisations and other development agencies in one of a small number of countries in South and Southeast Asia. This experience (valued at 6 credit points) enables students to gain a real understanding of global health and make a lasting difference to communities worldwide. All students should expect to complete at least one placement outside of Sydney during the course of their program.
