Being able to learn and research in this Physiotherapy program has really made my dream come true. The physiotherapy courses cover many topics (e.g., ageing, geriatric physiotherapy, and acupuncture, etc) have helped us to apply intriguing concepts and theories to health rehabilitation. It has whetted my appetite for a deeper understanding of the human body. Through hundreds of hours of clinical practice, I have learned that physiotherapy has a wide range of applications (e.g., helping people recover from accident trauma, improving mobility of seniors, and assisting those with lung disorders to breathe more freely). This means that graduates can specialized in different specialities and make a positive impact to the society. I strongly believe that the combination of traditional therapy and modern scientific approaches is unique to PolyU, making it an ideal place for me to learn and to help treat patients in Hong Kong in the future.

Finally, the programme offers over 1,000 hours’ worth of clinical placements in various clinical settings. These placements prepare students to apply the knowledge they have learned in real patient settings.
