This Advanced Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy MSc gives you the chance to work alongside UCL and external experts to evaluate and challenge current physiotherapy practice, carry out your own clinical research, and learn about new and emerging assessment and treatment options.
You will study upper and lower quadrant musculoskeletal physiotherapy, build enhanced clinical skills, and become familiar with evidence-based practice in your field of specialisation.
With plenty of flexibility built into the course structure, you can choose the modules that most interest you. Learn more in our Clinical Exercise and Physical Activity module, build your skills in the Young Athlete Injury Prevention and Management module or explore the latest developments in the Leadership and Professional Development module, to name a few.
The Master’s degree will transform the way you think about the theoretical foundation for musculoskeletal physiotherapy clinical practice and what defines expert patient care.
You will receive rigorous, evidence-based training in the latest research, and go away with the skills and expertise to put forward strong applications for clinical, educational or research posts.
By the end of your Master’s degree, you will be in a strong position to progress into a career in academia or research, or to pursue more senior clinical or management positions within your chosen field. Several students have used the MSc as a springboard to gain funding to undertake PhDs at a range of high-ranking London universities. Others have secured senior careers in healthcare policy, university lecturing, private practice, management or highly specialist clinical practice.
