Physiotherapy Queries

[sportzstar77]

I am very interested in doing a physiotherapy undergrad course next year, but am not too sure whether to pick monash or latrobe? Both campuses are fairly far away from me. ( I live near Glen Iris) Could anyone studying this course now or knows any info please post here? Also, is it unusual for someone to do a 4 year undergrad course at say Monash, and the follow up with a postgrad masters at Melb Uni?

Thanks heaps in advance.

Which Postgrad masters course are you referring? I havnt done physiotherapy so i can only tell you what my physio friends have told me, but from what i've heard the La Trobe course is better. I don't know what the reason is though but its just what my physio friends who studied physio at Melb uni (the undergrad course) and a single friend who went to la trobe have told me.

Latrobe spends a lot of their govt endowments and grants in their health science department. Im actually surprised they haven't set up a MBBS program.

postgrad masters could be any: either melb or latrobe. I'm just wondering whether doing a 4 year physio undergrad at monash followed by a masters of physio at melb/latrobe is weird/unusual.

Furthermore, would it be possible to say maybe take the GAMSAT during 2nd or 3rd year physio at monash, do well, and then transfer to a postgrad at melb uni? LOL

thanks guys, much appreciated
