About Us
The Academic Teaching Department of Physiotherapy is situated in the School of Life Course & Population Sciences and comprises an expert team of educators providing excellent research enhanced teaching and learning opportunities that prepare over 250 pre-registration Physiotherapy students effectively for working and leadership in the changing health and social care environment. The BSc Physiotherapy Programme is the highest ranked in London in the Complete University Guide 2026. The Department is based on the beautiful Guy’s campus near London Bridge station and Borough market, and you will have access to the King’s Sport Health and Wellness facilities that are free to all staff.
The School of Life Course & Population Sciences is one of six Schools that make up the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine at King’s College London. The School unites over 500 experts in a wide range of population health sciences including women and children’s health, life course sciences, nutritional sciences, Health AI, preventive medicine and the molecular genetics of human disease. Our research links the causes of common health problems to life’s landmark stages, treating life, disease and healthcare as a continuum. We are interdisciplinary by nature and this innovative approach works: 91 per cent of our research submitted to the Subjects Allied to Medicine (Pharmacy, Nutritional Sciences and Women's Health cluster) for REF was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent. We use this expertise to teach the next generation of health professionals and research scientists. Based across King’s Denmark Hill, Guy’s, St Thomas’ and Waterloo campuses, our academic programme of teaching, research and clinical practice is embedded across five Departments.
