Location of University of Brighton
This course, unique in the UK, is designed specifically for physiotherapy private practitioners. It has been developed in collaboration with Physiofirst, the UKs national membership body for chartered physiotherapists.
The course is open to qualified physiotherapists who have had at least one year's postgraduate experience working in private practice.
Career and progression opportunities
The course facilitates the professional development of qualified physiotherapists. It is particularly targeted at those in private practice who can draw upon learning from CPD study days (for example, those provided by Physiofirst) and other non-accredited study. Physiotherapists in other settings may also access the course and the distance learning element of the postgraduate certificate makes it suitable for the conversion of non-accredited learning to masters-level credits.
Contents
Course structure
The course is available in full- or part-time mode. Modules are delivered intensively, some by distance learning. Each 20-credit module requires 200 hours of study and research.
At postgraduate certificate level all study can be undertaken by distance learning. Participants can continue to the postgraduate diploma by completing a research module and two optional modules chosen from the extensive health and social science graduate programme. A 60-credit dissertation completes the MSc.
Areas of study
Core modules are designed to enhance practice through reflection and clinical reasoning. Optional modules include physiotherapy modules or management and business modules, thereby allowing students to choose a clinical or business related route.
The core modules help participants to meet new requirements of the Health Professions Council (HPC), that all health professionals demonstrate evidence of continuing professional development (CPD).
