Physical Therapy in Sydney (good schools, universities, live)

[vlaraujo]

[SIZE=3]I live with my Australian husband in the US, but we are moving to Sydney next year. I want to get my degree in Physical Therapy. Can anyone suggest good schools in Sydney? Do you have any idea of the cost? I will be moving to Australia with a spousal visa that allows me to work and study there. Thank you very much for any responses.[/SIZE]

In Australia we usually call it physiotherapy. There are two universities in Sydney that offer degree courses in physiotherapy - Sydney University, and the University of Western Sydney. Sydney Uni is close to the centre of the city, whereas Uni of Western Sydney is based some distance away in the western suburbs. So, if both courses are of equal merit, where you live would be a factor in deciding which uni to attend.

I have no idea of costs - although I imagine you would pay more than an Aussie because you would not have residency/citizenship status.

Suggest you google the above universities to find out more.

Hope this helps.

Sydney Uni offers the course at it's Cumberland Campus, which is at Lidcombe, not in the city-ie also in the western suburbs.
