Diploma in Physiotherapy (DIP)

The rapid growth of non-invasive medicine practices in recent years
coupled with an ageing population have heightened the demand for
specialists in the niche market of rehabilitative care and physical therapy.

At Vision University College, you will learn at our physiotherapy centre on how to treat patients effectively while minimising risk, how to operate within legal and ethical framework amongst other things.

The curriculum includes lessons and practical sessions in Sports, Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy, Neurological Physiotherapy and a 6-month internship with one of Vision University College’s many industrial partners. Vision University College is also the first and only education institution in Malaysia to include Ultrasound Treatment therapy in its teaching plans.

Accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and recognised by Malaysian Physiotherapy
Association (MPA), this programme aims to help graduates secure rewarding careers, while also allowing them to pursue further studies for either Malaysian universities or abroad.
