    What our students say

    "From playing sport in high school, I became interested in how a physiotherapist could help me to achieve better on the field. Although I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do when I graduated, I knew I wanted to learn about anatomy and physiology which lead me to physiotherapy at UQ. The most valuable experiences I have had are the off-campus visits and clinical immersions. My top tip for new students is to actively meet the challenges of the program head on and to use your friends for support."

    Matt Holt, Bachelor of Physiotheraphy (Honours).
