MSc Physiotherapy (Pre-registration)

When you're in university, you'll undertake tutorials and practical sessions in a small teaching group.

We follow a case-based, problem solving learning approach, using real patient case studies to facilitate the learning of essential skills such as clinical reasoning, manual skills, massage and exercise therapy. We create simulations where you can follow a patient’s journey and explore the options for management and recovery. This helps you to problem solve and work with other healthcare professionals, such as nurses, in order to do the best for your patient.

Some of the topics you’ll learn about include the structure and function of the nervous system, cardiorespiratory disease and how to deliver effective management, and biomechanics and tissue repair.

You'll need to hold a UK undergraduate honours degree at 2.1 or above, or equivalent international qualification, in a relevant subject.

Relevant subject areas include: biological sciences, sports science, sports therapy or rehabilitation, chemistry, nursing and psychology.

Additional requirements:

• Evidence of interest and work experience in the relevant field.
• Evidence of studying at Level 6/7 or equivalent within the last five years.
• Satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) enhanced criminal records check upon registration to the course.
