Physiotherapy (Pre-registration) – (M.Sc.)

The MSc Physiotherapy (Pre-registration) is a qualifying course that provides individuals who already have a relevant bachelor’s degree the opportunity to undertake a Physiotherapy course leading to registration at master’s level.

This two year full-time Physiotherapy course combines robust academic development with evidence-based clinical practice which will equip you with the skills required to apply for registration with the Health Professions Council as a Physiotherapist and membership of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.

Throughout the course, you will benefit from an interprofessional approach to learning in which some modules will be shared with other health and social care students. This type of learning will help to prepare you for work in the current health care environment.
