Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, nd.)

As a physiotherapist you can make a valuable contribution to the health and wellbeing of people affected by illness, injury or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. The programme adopts a holistic, person-centred approach that places people at the centre of decision making and empowers patients and their families through education and engagement.

On this course youll study the core areas of physiotherapy, drawing on the evidence-base in the discipline and apply them to a variety of clinical situations and healthcare settings. These include clinical placements in a variety of NHS and private providers to help you prepare for your future career as a physiotherapist. Youll also build up valuable experience supporting long-term condition management programmes and a musculoskeletal clinic at the university or in the local area. Youll use facilities such as– treatment rooms, rehabilitation spaces, a demonstration hospital ward, a skills laboratory, a strength and conditioning suite, fitness suite and a simulated ‘home environment.

The course is accredited by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and validated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). On completion of the course you will be eligible to apply for membership of the CSP (Chartered Status) and HCPC Registration, to practice as a Registered Physiotherapist.

Careers

Graduates will be able to pursue a range of roles across different healthcare settings including hospitals, private clinics, sports facilities, and community centres. This programme not only equips you with extensive practical skills but also provides opportunities in research, education, and leadership within the healthcare sector.

Whether your interests lie in direct patient care or the broader impacts of health promotion and rehabilitation, the MSc Physiotherapy programme prepares you for a future where you can truly make a difference.
