Synopsis:

Despite students meeting the basic entry requirements for the physiotherapy (Diploma) programme, some students did not complete the programme or took more than the minimum time to complete it. Factors contributing to academic performance of these students were therefore explored.

ABSTRACT

Understanding the pre-matriculation factors that influence academic success facilitates the recruitment and retention of students who are more likely to graduate on time.

Objective: To determine the factors associated with the academic performance of students enrolled in the physical therapy diploma programme.
