Yes, both the UK and Ireland offer strong Master's programs in Physiotherapy, each with distinct benefits.

- Ireland: Completing a CORU-approved program in Ireland qualifies you for CORU registration, allowing you to practice as a physiotherapist in Ireland. Courses typically include 1,000 hours of supervised clinical placement and offer a 24-month post-study work visa (subject to change).

- UK: Accredited programs in the UK are recognized by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), enabling you to practice in the UK. These often include NHS clinical placements and are widely recognized internationally.

- Tuition: Ireland's typical fees are €18,000 - €26,500/year for non-EU students (subject to change). UK fees may be higher and vary by university.

Both countries are excellent choices for your background in Physiotherapy. If you need help comparing specific programs, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
