Summary
Want a career in physiotherapy and already have an undergraduate degree? Study the Master of Physiotherapy Practice to develop the skills for registration as a New Zealand physiotherapist.
AUT’s Master of Physiotherapy Practice is a graduate-entry master's programme that covers real-life problems, clinical case scenarios, role plays, and simulations that incorporate e-learning and collaborative learning opportunities. Clinical placements will be embedded throughout the programme, giving you the chance to apply the theory you've learnt in practice.
The programme uses an active, student-centred approach to learning that helps students develop research skills, become life-long learners, and prepare them for work as a physiotherapist. After successfully completing the Master of Physiotherapy Practice, graduates will be able to apply for registration with the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand.
