MSc Applied Physiotherapy (International Students Only)

This course has been developed for international students who are working in physiotherapy roles in their home country and who wish to develop their skills further. Students will be able to access and appraise new developments and advances, which will influence patient management and rehabilitation and will help to foster effective inter-professional working. Whilst it does not meet the requirements for Health Professions Council (HPC) registration, it may enable students to develop some of the skills required to apply for registration as a physiotherapist with the HPC.
