As countries worldwide come to terms with the long-term health effects of ageing populations, the demand from international students for top-quality health care courses at UK universities is increasing year on year. From 2019 to 2021 Nursing and Adult Nursing has witnessed a 75% uptick, Counselling, Psychotherapy and Occupational Therapy 60%, and Physiotherapy 25%.
INTO UEA– UEA’s on-campus international education partner – is offering an International Foundation in Pharmacy, Health and Life Sciences that provides students from across the globe with the opportunity to progress to over 60 courses at UEA.
With UEA’s Medicine, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, Occupational Therapy, and Physiotherapy courses all ranked within the top 15 in their subject areas in the UK, INTO UEA is a perfect springboard for tomorrow’s top health professionals.
Marco from Hong Kong completed his Foundation programme at INTO UEA in 2019 and graduated from UEA in 2022 with a 1st in BSc Physiotherapy. He says: “My physiotherapy course provided me with a compulsory placement experience in hospital, allowing me to get practice and experience for my future working environment.”
Kaley, also from Hong Kong, completed her Foundation course at INTO UEA in 2017, progressed to UEA and achieved a 1st in BSc Occupational Therapy before completing an MSc in Clinical Research. She says: “I completed six placements throughout my degree, equating to over 1200 hours of work. This equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to become a confident newly-qualified Occupational Therapist.”
