Bachelor of Physiotherapy

Tuition fees are 22,464 USD per year.

The Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Fatima College of Health Sciences, located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is an undergraduate program taught in English that prepares students to assess and treat movement disorders and physical impairments. Physiotherapy is the healthcare field focused on restoring function, reducing pain, and improving mobility for patients affected by injury, illness, surgery, or disability. Study in this field typically covers human anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, neurological and musculoskeletal assessment, and a range of treatment approaches including therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and the use of physical modalities to support rehabilitation. Students commonly learn to design individualized treatment plans for patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions, as well as approaches to sports injury rehabilitation, pediatric and geriatric physiotherapy, and neurological rehabilitation. Coursework often addresses topics such as pain management, exercise prescription, and the professional and ethical responsibilities involved in patient care, alongside the communication skills needed to work closely with patients throughout their recovery. Because a bachelor's degree provides broader clinical training than a diploma-level qualification, programs at this level generally combine an extensive foundation in health and movement science with substantial supervised clinical placements, preparing graduates for a wide scope of practice across different patient populations. Graduates of physiotherapy programs typically pursue careers as physiotherapists in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, sports medicine clinics, and private practice, working with patients across the lifespan to restore movement and function. The program is delivered in English at Fatima College of Health Sciences.
