This contemporary, well-established part time Masters degree is designed for motivated physiotherapists who want to develop and challenge their professional practice and obtain an advanced academic qualification. The programme enables you to critically evaluate current practice, develop advanced knowledge, understanding and skills and undertake contemporary clinical research. Flexibility in the selection and delivery modes of an extensive portfolio of taught, work-based and independent modules and short courses results in a bespoke approach to the development of advanced clinical reasoning, academic and research skills and attributes which equips participants to practice successfully in an ever-changing healthcare environment. The Programme has a proven history of enhancing career progression, with many alumni students progressing into senior roles such as physiotherapy consultants, first contact practitioners, clinical specialists, team leaders, clinical mentors, lecturers and researchers.
There are two modes of application:
Independent – you apply for a single module and are registered as an independent student on the Master’s programme. This is a useful approach if you are unsure about applying for a full programme. It will give you an idea of the level of study required and the amount of time involved. You can undertake up to 45 credits as an independent student. If you decide to undertake more credits, then you are transferred to the MSc programme (subject to Programme Team approval and eligibility criteria).
Postgraduate Masters – you apply for the MSc programme at the beginning of your studies. You will normally need to provide a professional reference (usually this is from an employer indicating your suitability for Masters level study and support) and a brief CV. On application you will need to indicate which module/s you intend to study in your first year. You select subsequent modules you plan to study on a yearly basis using the On-line application
