As a Physiotherapy PhD student at the University of Brighton you will be able to draw on research approaches from a range of cognate fields including musculoskeletal therapy and rehabilitation, exercise prescription and health, assistive technology and mobility and efficacy of therapeutic interventions and approaches.
We foster research into clinical practice and effects of treatment modalities, the therapeutic relationship, patient views in relation to conditions and treatment received as well as issues relating to practitioners. We are also interested in the field of therapeutic exercise. Research can be based in clinical or laboratory settings and can involve qualitative as well as quantitative approaches. There is also a strong educational area of research exploring pedagogy and practice.
Graduates with a PhD in physiotherapy from the University of Brighton proceed to jobs in various organisations including NIHR, NHS, university lecturer posts and consultancy.
The entry requirements for the PhD are: a recognised Master’s degree with a significant research component, for example MPhil from another university, or similar qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant or substantial appropriate research or professional experience at postgraduate level which resulted in published work, written reports or other appropriate evidence of accomplishment. An application made by someone with this experience will be considered on its merits and will normally require independent academic references or, unless a School exercises their right to specify more stringent entry requirements, we may consider a first or upper second honours degree or other qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant.
