MSc Advanced Physiotherapy
We offer a range of optional units of study to assist practitioners in developing their knowledge and evidence-based-practice. These are focused around:
- Musculoskeletal physiotherapy
- Neurological physiotherapy
- A Manual Therapy Clinical Pathway (which provides eligibility to apply for Musculoskeletal Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (MACP) membership)
To help you fit studying around your work commitments, you can exit this course with a postgraduate certificate (PgCert) or postgraduate diploma (PgDip) in advanced physiotherapy instead of a full masters degree (MSc). Alternatively, you can just complete individual units from this masters degree as continuing professional development (CPD).
On our masters course, you’ll have a mix of lectures and practical sessions. Some of the topics you might explore include exercise prescription for patients and mobilisation techniques.
For units with practical content, we’ll teach you the theory behind the techniques in your lectures. We’ll demonstrate how to perform the techniques in practical sessions and then you’ll practice with fellow students, supervised by your lecturer.
A number of our units have guest lecturers including experts in their field of clinical practice and world-leading researchers.
As well as core units, you’ll choose optional units to help you meet your personal and professional goals. You’ll need to currently be working in clinical practice for some of the optional units. We offer a range of modules to further your career in advanced practice and First Contact Practitioner roles. These include modules that map across all four pillars of advanced practice. You can find the HEE Multiple-Professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice here.
If you’re interested in studying option units focused on sport, you might be able to take one or two of the units on our MSc Sport and Exercise Medicine course as part of your advanced physiotherapy qualification.
We deliver the units Rehabilitation in Sport and Maximising Sports Performance in collaboration with experts currently working in sport. Some sessions in these units take place at the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance (MIHP).
Whichever area you focus on, in order to graduate from this masters degree, you will need to complete the majority of your units from the advanced physiotherapy course syllabus. These must form two - thirds of your final credits.
Your final assignment for this course is an Advanced Physiotherapy Project (APP). This involves conducting research, writing a paper of 6,000 words, and a viva voce (oral examination).
