Our pedagogy encompasses a range of dynamic approaches, specifically tailored to the field of physiotherapy. To ensure our students are employment-worthy, we employ immersive case study assessments that challenge them to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.

At GCU, we foster innovation and adaptability through engaging mini projects. These projects encourage students to unleash their creativity, work collaboratively in teams, and develop their problem-solving abilities. By tackling these projects, students gain a deeper understanding of the practical applications of physiotherapy techniques and interventions. We believe in providing our students with opportunities for independent study, and to facilitate this, we have integrated Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) platforms into our curriculum. These platforms allow students to explore their areas of interest within the field of physiotherapy, delve deeper into specific subjects, and broaden their knowledge base. The major project is a pinnacle component of our pedagogy. It enables students to delve deep into a subject of their choice within the realm of physiotherapy, showcasing their expertise and research acumen. Through these projects, students have the opportunity to make significant contributions to the field, conducting in-depth studies and presenting their findings to their peers and faculty. In addition to classroom-based learning, we emphasize the importance of practical experience. To bridge the gap between theory and real-world application, we have included a mandatory six-month internship as part of our Bachelor of Physiotherapy program. During this internship, students gain invaluable practical exposure, applying their knowledge in real-life settings and refining their skills under the guidance of experienced professionals.

    Our assessment methods for the Bachelor of Physiotherapy program are diverse and comprehensive. We employ internal assessment quizzes, end semester examinations, and viva sessions to evaluate students' progress. Furthermore, we incorporate case study solving, field surveys, and field visits to provide practical exposure and hands-on learning opportunities. This multifaceted assessment approach ensures that students are not only academically prepared but also equipped with the practical skills, critical thinking abilities, and real-world understanding necessary to excel as physiotherapy professionals. At GCU, our focus is on nurturing well-rounded physiotherapy graduates who possess theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and professional acumen to succeed in their careers. Through our innovative teaching methodologies, immersive assessments, and practical experiences, we aim to produce physiotherapists who are confident, adaptable, and ready to make a positive impact in the field of healthcare.
