Course summary

This MSc Physiotherapy programme provides opportunities for you, as a qualified physiotherapist (achieved either in the UK or internationally), to further develop your knowledge, skills, and expertise. For our internationally trained physiotherapists, the focus will be on supporting the transference of knowledge and skills to different healthcare contexts within a global employment market, including UK practice. For physiotherapists already registered and practising in the UK, you have the option of choosing which route to follow. In the first year, there is the option to choose the two enhanced practice modules or follow the alternative master's route. The programme will facilitate you in identifying, evaluating, and mapping your knowledge, skills, and behaviours, and mapping portfolio evidence to relevant professional standards. As a graduate, you will be equipped for roles as physiotherapists in a range of health and social care settings. You will: Learn to identify contextual and cultural factors influencing patient care and adapt appropriately to those factors. Develop skills required for effective, evidence-based physiotherapy, including understanding the role of research, planning, and methods of enquiry. Learn the relevance of research, leadership, and education alongside clinical expertise, including communication, mentoring, supervision, and delegation skills. Think critically and challenge appropriately to make well-justified decisions that are safe, person-centred, and equitable. Enhance your skills to improve professional development opportunities, including reflection, evaluation, action planning, and evidencing achievement. Learn enhanced clinical skills in assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients relevant to their area of practice and specialism.
