Physiotherapy Studies: Musculoskeletal MSc

UCL (University College London)

This postgraduate programme integrates the advanced clinical, academic, and research components of musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice. The emphasis is on the assessment and management of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Flexibility in the selection of modules allows for physiotherapists with particular interests to be accommodated. The programme offers students the opportunity to evaluate and challenge existing practice, develop and undertake clinical research and learn about new and emerging assessment and treatment options. Students will develop clinical skills and an understanding of evidence-based practice in their field of specialisation through the completion of taught modules led by university staff with teaching also provided by a variety of external clinical experts.This degree is suitable for World Physiotherapy recognised qualified physiotherapists with less than two years musculoskeletal experience, or for experienced practitioners who prefer not to undertake clinical placements for various reasons including restrictions on study leave. Although you do not need to have two years of clinical experience, stronger applicants will have at least 12 months post qualifying, beyond their internship, supervised work within the field of musculoskeletal. Applications without this will be considered much less favourably.
