Is NZ registration possible with 3yr degree?

No basically, the NZ board will only take:

4yr BSc degree (Ireland and Scotland) with NO post-grad experience
3yr BSc degree AND at least 12 months post-grad experience
2yr Masters degree AND at least 12 months post-grad experience.

I've spoken with the NZ board and these are absolute musts by the sounds of it, they say don't even bother applying unless you meet these requirements as you'll end up wasting your $600 (and a LOT of time doing the competancies). It's kind of frustrating though as all 3 degree's do the same amount of clinical experience but there you go....

The issue is that the NZ Physioboard only accepts tertiary education that is similar to one of the NZ Physiotherapy degree programmes (in contents, length and evidence based approach)= 4 years.
Therefore, if you have completed a three year degree, you need to have done at least 12 months postgrad practice.
If you have got another science degree and completed the two year master degree, your other degree is accepted, but you need to complete 12 months practice, to ensure basic requirements for Physio.
Good luck,

Unfortunately the big problem in the UK is getting that 12 months experience. As you're all probably aware there is a dearth of work for new grads over here so we are in the classic "Catch 22" of not being able to get registered without experiece but no(or very little) chance of getting experience.
