Change course to BSc in physiotherapy or finish course and do MSc in physiotherapy?

[jmiddleton]

I'm currently in the first year of a Sport and Exercise Science course, and have recently decided physiotherapy is the direction I want to go in. My two options are to finish my first year to then drop out and start a BSc Physiotherapy course next year, or finish my degree in Sports Science and do a two year MSc in physiotherapy.

From the research I've done some people say finding employment with a two year MSc accelerated course is more difficult as you have less experience, others say it doesn't matter and doing an extra year to end up with both a BSc and an MSc is worth it.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you are only a year through your Sport Science course, then its not too late to drop out and do a Physio BSc.

I only realised that I wanted to do Physiotherapy about 2 years into my Biology course, so I had to stick it out.
I have just started an MSc Physiotherapy course.

If you have any questions about the MSc course and want to know what it's like then don't hesitate to ask. (I also have a YouTube channel where I'm regularly posting day in the life videos as a Physio student at Southampton Uni!
