Thanks that was insightful. Would you be able to inform me of what a health science course entails as I see the same course in ucd?

Here you go, http://courses.itsligo.ie/science-co...iology-sg-435/ , knock yourself out.
Now I cant comment on this course or this route of getting into pyhsio, but from watching my sister do it, its possible. 6yrs it took her altogether, 3 in each course. and nearly a year at home doing online tests and study to get all the extra qualifications needed to practice in the US. yes you read it right, her trinity degree didnt cover everything to practice in the US. good luck

yeah i see UL dont offer a post-grad entry into physiotherapy at all whereas trinity and ucd do :/ i just wonder which would be more recognised sports science in u.l or health and exercise science in ucd when applying for post-grad entry into physiotherapy
