How do I apply for a Masters in Physiotherapy in the UK, step by step?
Choose a pre-registration or advanced program, review entry requirements, prepare documents, submit the university application, attend an interview if asked, review your offer conditions and apply for the Student visa. You need a CAS from the university before you can apply for the visa.
Start by choosing between a pre-registration and an advanced program based on your qualification and goals, then work through requirements, documents, application, interview, offer and visa. Check English-language, placement and professional registration checks for your program.
