Physiotherapy (MSc/PgDip)
The course is structured on a modular format. Students complete modules totalling 120 M level credits to be eligible for the Postgraduate Diploma. All students complete a compulsory generic module in Research Methods in Health and Social Care (30 credits).
The modules are presented in block format with students required to attend the university for two to three-day blocks every few weeks during the year. The frequency of attendance depends on the number of modules being undertaken in one academic year. Full-time students undertake all modules during one academic year, while part-time students undertake approximately 60 credits per year over two years, in order to achieve the Postgraduate Diploma. Each module is assessed individually by assessment procedures, all of which will consist of prepared work rather than unseen examination papers.
Students who proceed to successful completion of a research project and subsequent dissertation will be eligible for the award of a Master of Science degree.
The course offers knowledge and expertise to develop students’ evaluative, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and to increase their practical and theoretical knowledge of physiotherapy, so that they can apply these skills in the further advancement of their profession.
