Physiotherapy is a health care profession in the field of rehabilitation that promotes optimal health in individuals of all ages. Physiotherapists are qualified to provide preventive and therapeutic services which aim at restoring function and preventing disability arising from disease, trauma or injury. The University of Sharjah offers a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science in physiotherapy (BSc.PT). The program is designed to meet the goals of the Department of Physiotherapy.
Physiotherapists work across various settings, such as outpatient clinics, hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, extended care facilities, education and research centers, schools, hospices, industrial workplaces, and fitness or sports training centers. Additionally, students are equipped to pursue advanced studies towards a master's or PhD degree. Physiotherapists may also transition into non-patient care roles, including positions in health policy, health insurance, healthcare administration, or as healthcare executives or professors.
