Program Description

This clinically focused course is offered to qualified physiotherapists who wish to develop their practice to a higher level. This course normally attracts students from many different countries including the UK, India, Pakistan, Japan, Thailand and the Middle East. Each student brings their own experience of physiotherapy from their home country, which they have the opportunity to share with fellow students and teachers. Thus, all students may have the opportunity to gain a global experience2 of physiotherapy as they learn alongside physiotherapists from different cultural backgrounds or from tutors who have experience of teaching students from across the globe.

This course provides you with the opportunity to develop your physiotherapy skills to a higher level, supported by an experienced and dedicated team of staff. 

• Opportunities to develop your assessment, clinical reasoning and treatment skills in the three core areas of practice: cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal and neurological physiotherapy
• Aims to improve your employability by enhancing clinical, management and leadership skills
• Opportunities to develop and practise your clinical skills in an environment that closely resembles real-life clinical practice.
