Do I need to clear IELTS and work a certain number of hours to get the physiotherapy license in the UK?

Yes, you must meet English language requirements and complete clinical placements to get a physiotherapy license in the UK.

- English proficiency: The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) typically requires an English test like IELTS, with most universities and the HCPC expecting an overall score of 7.0 and no section below 6.5. Requirements are subject to change.
- Clinical experience: You must finish a physiotherapy degree that includes at least 1,000 hours of clinical placement as part of your training.

If you need help understanding the process or meeting these requirements, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
