I’m 17 and in yr13. I want to become an army physio. Do I need my degree before joining and can the army fund it?

Regimental Medical Officer

Hello,

Full details on the entry requirements can be found here https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/physiotherapist-officer

You will need to be a fully qualified physiotherapist registered with Chartered Society of Physiotherapists and be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.

Postgraduate experience is preferred, but opportunities are available for newly qualified clinicians.

As far as I know, there is not currently any Army funding specifically for physiotherapy degrees. Details of available bursaries can be found here https://apply.army.mod.uk/how-to-join/entryoptions/officer-bursary

I hope that helps.
