    aedooma,
    The only Physiotherapist courses are in Dublin or Limerick.

    There are Physical Therapist courses around but there is a difference between the two.

    I can't help with these though as i've only looked into them in limerick.

    I dont know about the physical therapy courses im afraid, but Triangle is right the only places you can do Physiotherapy is in UCD Trinity and UL. They are full time 4yr degree courses and as far as I know Physical therapy is only 1 year private course....so as you can imagine there is a big difference between the 2qualifications!! its actually a bit of a sore point with the physiotherapists in this country at the moment........in most other countries Physiotherapists also go under the heading of Physical therapists but not here+they want that 2be changed+ to be regulated. So just make sure that its Physical therapy you actually want to do because its a different qualification+job to a Physiotherapist. Best of luck with it anyway:)
