Physiotherapy

Program Overview

Physiotherapy (also known as physical therapy) places full and functional movement at the heart of what it means to be healthy. It involves treating patients of all ages with a range of illnesses and conditions, including those with back and neck problems, sports injuries, arthritis, or those recovering from strokes and operations. The focus of treatment is exercise prescription. Physiotherapists may be part of a multidisciplinary medical team or work from clinics or specialise in particular areas of the discipline. How competitive: applicants from the EU apply through the CAO and are ranked on points. In round 1 of 2026, places went to applicants with 567 points or more (not everyone on 567 got a place). On Trinity's indicative scale for the IB, that is about 43 points, or about 40 with Higher Level Mathematics at 4 or better, which adds 25. Applicants from outside the EU apply to Trinity directly and are assessed individually.
