UNDERGRADUATE

BSc Veterinary Physiotherapy

Equine-Librium College’s BSc Veterinary Physiotherapy degree is structured to qualify ethical, professional, hands-on Veterinary Physiotherapists who can deliver a world class service to their clients and work efficiently within the Veterinary Health Team.


This is achieved by ensuring a thorough and comprehensive programme, focusing on integrating theoretical knowledge into practical skills. The programme offers a high load of practical hands-on and work integrated learning experience to prepare the student for the working world. The College is the first institution in the world to offer a full-time professional degree directly into the field of Veterinary Physiotherapy.


The South African Veterinary Council promulgated the para-veterinary profession of Veterinary Physiotherapy in 2017. This means that it’s a regulated profession, with a set Scope of Practise, Day One Skills and minimum standards of training. All persons wanting to offer services in this field, in South Africa, must register with SAVC. Our degree is also accepted by SAVC for automatic registration, upon successful completion.

Work Integrated Learning

Students are required to complete Work Integrated Learning (WIL) modules in their third and fourth year. WIL modules consist of clinical placements. Students will be placed at specific Veterinary Physiotherapy clinics across the country. The allocated Supervisor will be your mentor at each clinic. Students will be participating in the cases treated in each clinic, which will combine watching case treatments, engaging and collaborating with working Veterinary Physiotherapists while also taking responsibility for their own patient cases.

Students will be required to adhere to the rules and protocols of each practice.
