Summary

I am currently in my third year at the University of Plymouth studying BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy and will complete my degree in May 2026. I am highly motivated to transition into a physiotherapist role around September 2026, and this post represents an excellent opportunity to consolidate my academic learning, develop clinical competence, and grow into a confident and well-rounded practitioner.
