Hello Ramsha

The main difference is that the Bachelor's in Physiotherapy is a degree course. A four year duration course with more importance.

Whereas, the diploma in physiotherapy would not be considered as bachelor's degree. It would be a diploma course of 1 year duration.

After completion of bpt, you would be considered as doctor. More respectable and highly paid career.

Whereas, after completion of diploma in physiotherapy, you aren't considered as doctor.


Now, the career options after completion of bpt and dpt are -

1. Working at private as well as govt hospitals

2. Working at clinics, Rehabilitation Centres

3. Working at Schools, Factories

4. Working at Fitness centres

5. Working at Healthcare Companies

6. Working at Sports club.

7. Working at Reputed Universities as Lecturer


But in comparison, Bachelor's in physiotherapy is better than Diploma in physiotherapy.


All the best for your future :)

Bachelors in Physiotherapy is better than Diploma in Physiotherapy as BPT is a undergraduate degree. And in most of the hospitals, educational institutes BPT graduates are appointed. BPT is a more in-depth and pertinent course as it is a four years programme, while DPT is of only one year.
