Bachelor of Physiotherapy at MCHP

Mangalore

Restoring Movement, Enhancing Lives.

The Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) is a five-year program, including a one-year rotatory clinical internship, designed to build proficiency in restoring and improving movement through science-backed training. You gain in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, exercise therapy, and rehabilitation sciences. The curriculum meets international standards and is recognised by the Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAP), supporting global academic and career mobility.

Under experienced faculty, you bridge classroom learning with real-world application as part of a recognised physiotherapy bachelor's degree. Early clinical postings and specialty rotations in orthopaedics, neurology, and cardio-pulmonary care develop strong diagnostic and therapeutic skills, shaping ethical, independent practitioners committed to holistic well-being.
