    Re: "Best" Country to Study Physio?

    You are welcome.

    Is there a particular degree from a country that is most widely accepted worldwide?
    On the whole it doesn't quite work like that. Generally registration or licensing bodies in the country that you wish to work have various rules and criteria about what is acceptable and what isn't. Often decisions are made about whole country programmes nationwide and then they may or may not look at your transcript and other documents from the university you attended. So it is quite complex. I am not up with the play about what exactly is acceptable for a specific country.

    Melbourne Uni has one of the most prestigious degrees and they offer the clinical doctorate. However entry is generally by their preferred undergraduate degree in biomedical science so you should really check that out before continuing your studies. Bond Univerisity is a private uni in Queensland near Brisbane and it also offers the clinical doctorate with a heavy emphasis on sports/orthopaedics. University of Queensland and Curtin Universities have traditionally been high standing courses and I think they are still mainly at the bachelors degree level. Griffith University has a double degree in exercise science and physiotherapy (5 years) and I think it has a good reputation. But there are others. Personally I wold avoid a lot of the newer universities and the "bush" universities as they are just getting going and often on a small budget.

    Another option to think about is to do a Bachelor in physiotherapy then do a post grad Masters in sports physio. But this all takes extra time and money. You could od this all in one go or have some time in the field after graduating with the Bachelor degree.

    Whatever it sounds like you really should find out what their entry criteria and standards are like so you don't undertake further study now that won't be accepted.
