Rehabilitation and Health Professions

"There are so many things I love about Leeds Beckett, but the most prominent one is the incredible support from the lecturers. They are not only knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects but also approachable and genuinely dedicated to helping students succeed."

"I believe that the almost holistic approach that the course has taken to the field of food and nutrition has been a valuable experience that I truly believe has set me up to being a more holistic, ameliorative and better practitioner in my future career path."

"In the simulation flat we get to practise the skills we learn in lectures on each other. Practical, people skills are so important as an occupational therapist so having the Clinical Suite to practise in a safe environment has been brilliant."

"I work alongside a fantastic range of professionals across several teams. I am part of Bevan Healthcare CIC and collaborate with a paramedic, advanced nurse practitioner and GPs to deliver an innovative outreach healthcare service designed to combat health exclusion."

"After listening to the physiotherapy talk, my brother turned to me and said: “They’ve made me wish I studied physiotherapy when I went to uni”. Everyone who spoke in that talk had so much passion and excitement that it was impossible not to feel it."

" The lecturers explain everything in a clear-to-understand way, which helps when you have a ton of information to learn."

"The excellent placement opportunities in hospitals whilst studying at Leeds Beckett gave me a completely different outlook on hospital working."

"It’s difficult, it’s challenging, but also very rewarding. You meet many different people from many different backgrounds and are supported all the way through!"

" I liked the idea of starting my placement hours in first year so that when I came to third year you already have some of your hours completed. Plus, being exposed to real patients early on really helped with my learning."

"In the City Campus the medical suites are of a high standard making it a blessing to be able to learn in them. With it being a sports medical course, I was lucky enough to still have one face-to-face practical lesson a week during COVID, which a lot of people didn't have the opportunity to have."

"The course has fantastic connections with clubs such as Leeds Rhinos, Bradford City and Sheffield United, where you can start to get a gist about potential areas you may want to enter post-graduation."

"I loved learning the science of the body from both a biological and sporting aspect. I wanted to study these further and in a way that would allow me to work hands-on and to look at sporting performance from different angles – injury, prevention, rehabilitation, performance enhancement – including the impact I could have on these."
