Changing from Software Engineering to Physiotherapy without having done Biology?
Hi everyone,
I’m a 24-year-old software developer from the UK and I’ve been thinking seriously about changing careers and becoming a physiotherapist. I’ve realised I’d like to work in a career that’s more people-focused and where I can directly help others.
I recently started reading Ross and Wilson Anatomy & Physiology to see if I enjoy the subject, and so far I’m finding it interesting.
My concern is that my background is in Computer Science. I did Maths at A-level but didn’t take Biology or other sciences. I’ve noticed that a lot of physiotherapy undergraduate courses require Biology.
Has anyone here gone into physiotherapy from a non-science background? Is it still realistically possible, and are there any routes/foundation years you’d recommend?
Thanks!
