Hi All,
I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure that the first BSc in Britain was
awarded in 1984 by the University of Ulster at Jordanstown, N. Ireland.
Perhaps someone from the CSP may confirm or refute this, but I am pretty
sure that the first Bsc(hons) in Physiotherapy in the UK was developed
in the good old UUJ!

Dear Joan
I, too came out of a poly witha simple MCSP qualification in 1981 but do
know that was the year of the first intake of The London Hospital which
I am pretty sure was the first degree programme in England and if I am
not mistaken was a three year course so the first qualified degree
physios should have come out into the work place in 1984. Ireland, I am
sure, had a BSc earlier - dont know about Scotland. And Oz had them
much earlier, too.
