I am currently a student doing Grade 12 in South Africa. I have not opted biology or life science as a subject, but do have Physics and Chemistry. Recently I have developed an interest in Physiotherapy. I would want to know whether I can do a diploma in physiotherapy for a year or so before getting into degree course of BPT.

Sorry, you are not applicable for diploma in Physiotherapy since you have not opted for Biology or Life science as one of the subjects in HSC.

The basic eligibility for courses in physiotherapy is 10+2 passed or equivalent examination with physics, chemistry, biology and English. At least 50% of marks should be secured in each of these subjects. Age limit for the candidates is 17 years. you can opt for either engineering course or science related course but not for physiotherapy courses.
