Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time
Our MSc (Pre-registration) Physiotherapy programme offers you the opportunity to turn your undergraduate science degree or clinical experience in to a Master’s degree. The course is designed to provide you with a well-rounded knowledge of contemporary physiotherapy practice, which puts service-users at its core. While you study, you’ll get extensive clinical experience on a series of work-based placements in both NHS and private physiotherapy settings so you’ll be ready for whatever kind of physiotherapy career you have in mind.
At the University of Portsmouth, we keep our student cohort smaller than some other programmes, enabling you to bond with peers and teaching staff, which fosters a close and productive working community. When you successfully complete the course, you’ll be able to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) – which is a requirement for all practicing physiotherapy professionals in the UK – and work towards chartered status under the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).
To give you an extra advantage as you embark on your new career, we’ll also pay for your first year of professional accreditation with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.
