Coursework and presentations<br />
This programme is for practicing physiotherapists who wish to continue their professional<br />
development and at the same time gain academic credit.<br />
The programme underpins the development of clinical specialities together with the evaluation of the<br />
evidence base for established practice and the generic skills essential to maximise personal and practice<br />
development.<br />
Through undertaking this Master’s programme, students will adopt an evidence-based approach to<br />
their learning through:<br />
• Questioning and rethinking their perceptions and practice in light of relevant research findings<br />
• Enhancing their capability for critical enquiry<br />
• Expanding their capacity for an in-depth analytical approach to research literature<br />
• Developing their capacity genuinely to engage in clinical effectiveness and evidence-based health care<br />
• Increasing their levels of confidence and comfort in dealing with issues and areas in which uncertainty,<br />
unpredictability, gaps and inconsistencies are inherent<br />
The entry requirements for this programme are as follows:<br />
• UK Physiotherapy honours degree, 1st or 2nd class<br />
• Unclassified Physiotherapy degree or Professional Physiotherapy diploma, normally with at least 2 years<br />
