Applying Physiotherapy (Practice-based) – MSc

This course is for physiotherapists worldwide who wish to explore an academic approach to their practice, but who are unable to travel to the UK for extended periods of time. It allows you to gain a UK masters degree while living in your home country. It is also for students who cannot commit to campus-based or full-time study.

We support our online teaching with summer schools. These are UK-based teaching blocks of approximately four weeks, during two summer periods. We designed them to offer hands-on, practical skills to supplement the theoretical perspectives explored during your distance learning study.

You critically evaluate your practice and explore your own professional development or particular areas of interest. All modules have a focus on your practice as a physiotherapist and the course encourages you to apply your learning to the context in which you work or could work.

The course is led and taught by an interprofessional therapy team who are all registered and experienced allied health professionals. Our staff have a wealth of international experience and specialist expertise in research, distance learning education and autonomous clinical practice.

We support research into various therapy-related areas, for example • professional education • neurological rehabilitation • older people • low back pain • psychosocial issues in patient management.
