Presentación

Physiotherapy is a constantly evolving profession which requires practitioners to demonstrate current best practice and continued professional development at postgraduate level. The philosophy of this course is to broaden and extend knowledge and skills within the field of physiotherapy and encourage personal and professional development. This programme is designed to provide opportunity for students to question and challenge current practice in aspects of physiotherapy and to enable students to explore in depth, areas of professional interest. It also aims to enable students to evaluate evidence both for current practice and for new approaches in physiotherapy practice.

The structure of the core modules meets the needs of individuals to review and evaluate the background of the physiotherapy profession and to integrate this into their clinical practice where appropriate. The option module choice allows students to select the module that best suits their own specific requirements in terms of personal and professional development. The research module and dissertation, together with core modules such as Evidence Based Practice or Assessment and Measurement, develop the student´s research capabilities and critical evaluation skills.

Requisitos

The course is open to appropriately qualified physiotherapists who are interested in acquiring new knowledge and/or deepening existing knowledge in the field of physiotherapy. Applicants should normally have a first or second- class honours degree (2.1 or 2.2) (or overseas equivalent) in Physiotherapy. There is an expectation that applicants will possess level 6 (bachelors degree level) knowledge and skills in the areas of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular-respiratory and neurological physiotherapy.

Those who are not qualified physiotherapists are not eligible to apply (even if they have a Sports Science/ Sport and Exercise/ Kinesiology degree). If their intention is to become a qualified physiotherapist in the UK then they can consider the BSc Physiotherapy at Keele (3 years full time) or if they wish to qualify at a Masters level can do an internet search for ´Pre Registration MSc Physiotherapy´.

For students whose first language is not English, evidence will normally be required of successful completion of an English Language qualification such as IELTS (minimum 6.5 with at least 6 in each sub-test).

All applications are assessed on an individual basis. Applicants should ensure that their personal statements identify why they wish to study this course.
