In South Africa there are 8
schools of physiotherapy. The number of students who are accepted is
limited. Requirements vary from one school to the next, but generally you will
need a good matric with mathematics.
It is a 4 year university degree, which includes scientific,
medical and clinical courses:
-
In first year the emphasis is on academic subjects like physics,
chemistry and psychology
-
In second year you discover the intricacies of human anatomy (by
dissecting a cadaver) and human physiology.
-
The final two years combine the theory and practice of
physiotherapy - you will be responsible for treatment of patients under
supervision of clinical staff.
