Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) is a five-year semester-based graduate degree programme recognized by HEC. It is offered concurrently at three distinct locations: North Campus, Clifton Campus, and Education City-Link Road.
To serve mankind, we aim to prepare graduates of Doctor of Physical Therapy as professionals committed to excellence in patient care, equipped with innovative approaches compatible with the evolution of the health profession. These physiotherapy practitioners will be the future leaders in their field, practicing autonomously with an ethical approach, supported by research, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.
ZCPT follows the curriculum for DPT approved by the Higher Education Commission (HEC). It is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding, clinical skills, and evidence-based practice essential for patient management.
The college has fully equipped labs to meet the HEC-approved curriculum requirements. The facilities provided in these laboratories provide opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience and integrate theoretical knowledge into their practical approaches.
Clinical training is an essential component of the curriculum; both national and international qualified teaching faculty promote better understanding through diligent supervision, instilling clinical reasoning and fine skills in students and preparing them to serve humanity with excellence. Attached to Dr. Ziauddin Hospital, a state-of-the-art tertiary care hospital in the region, ZCPT provides ample opportunities for its students to learn and train themselves as competent clinicians. Students have the privilege of completing their clinical rotations and gaining practical experience in an esteemed hospital.
ZCPT started their clinical collaboration with other major healthcare institutions like Dow University Hospital-Ojha, Sindh Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (SIPM&R), Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, National Institute of Child Health (NICH), National Institute of Cardio-Vascular Diseases (NICVD), Sindh Govt. Hospital, Tabba Heart Institute, Al-Umeed Rehabilitation Association (AURA), Rabia Moon Trust, Association for Children with Emotional Learning Problems (ACELP), Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPD), and Sindh Institute of Child Health and Neonatology (SICHN).
ZCPT established the “Learning Resource Centre” a hub of printed books, journals, periodicals, and e-books, e-journals to fulfil the need and quest of its students to learn more and explore more.
The University provides this facility to a limited number of candidates based on merit and individual needs. Each case is treated on an individual basis and decisions are made by the financial aid Committee.
After graduation, the university allows its students to complete a one-year house job at a hospital, as recommended by HEC.
With a focus on academic excellence and clinical proficiency, our DPT programme prepares students to become skilled and compassionate physical therapists capable of meeting the evolving healthcare needs of society.
