Course overview

The General Chiropractic Council (GCC) and European Council on Chiropractic Education (ECCE) recognised MSc Chiropractic course, is specifically designed for students currently studying a chiropractic course, but who wish to complete their studies with a postgraduate MSc qualification. An MSc may be desirable if you are considering a career in research or academia, or may be preferred by some national associations.

Through our MSc Chiropractic course you will build on your practical skills and knowledge to develop your assessment and management of chiropractic patients.

You will learn more about research, progressing your existing research methodology knowledge, which will inform your own research study. To help you complete your research you will be allocated a research supervisor and have access to specialist equipment and software to collect and analyse data.

Your two-year placement will be in our on-site chiropractic clinic, a high-quality healthcare facility offering musculoskeletal care to a richly diverse patient population. Here you will gain hands-on clinical experience under direct supervision of experienced and registered clinical tutors, including chiropractors and other healthcare professionals. Your self-directed study will be enhanced by your real-world experience, where you will interact, engage and work with other healthcare practitioners, growing your knowledge and confidence in a supportive, challenging and caring environment.

Observations with other allied health professions will allow you to contextualise the role of chiropractors within the wider health community and will be arranged by our course team, alongside you being able to arrange your own observational opportunities from which you can learn and reflect.
