Hi,
I may be able to offer some up to date advice as my DD has just accepted a place to study a 2 year pre registration physiotherapy course after graduating with a sport science degree.
She also had offers for the BSc physiotherapy degree as a back up so has been for a few interviews this year.
It is very competitive to get a place, but there is a post grad route as you can see. I'm not sure on the alternative entry requirements other than a related degree min 2.1, but it is worth a nosey at unis that offer this course (we are up north and Man Met, Leeds Met, York St John and Teeside do it), although there aren't that many that do.
Experience is very important for physio, any shadowing, voluntary in the caring sector is vital as all applicants can get the grades, but the additional experience is what gets them the places.
On the job front, DD has a friend who graduated from her BSc this year and already has a job. We were told (by the unis we visited) 90% of graduates are gaining employment at the moment, most within the NHS.
And finally, even with her existing BSc, the physio BSc place DD was offered was funded by the NHS, so previous degrees are not relevant to NHS fee funding. The pre-reg MSc is NHS funded too.
It is early days, but you can look into steering your DD in the right direction with extra curricular bits as the next few years go by, it all helps.
