MSc Physiotherapy (pre-registration)

Students on the MSc Physiotherapy (pre-registration) programme at the University of Lincoln will have the opportunity to explore, appreciate and understand current physiotherapy practice, alongside how to be critical in their approach to developing new, innovative and evidence-based interventions. The interprofessional components of the course aim to develop practitioners who are professional, compassionate, safe, reflective and autonomous. Working with peers from nursing, midwifery and the allied health professions will promote team work, collaboration, and an application of research skills in the transformation of health and social care services.

This course is designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to engage with and promote professional, social and political change in health and social care.

Successful completion of this programme provides eligibility to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Varied and supported practice placement opportunities will be provided to develop students' awareness of the scope of physiotherapy. Practice-based learning will support the development of an understanding of different career opportunities within the NHS, private and third sectors, and beyond in an ever changing healthcare workforce.

The University of Lincoln is home to The Community and Health Research Unit (CaHRU), which is the research centre for the School of Health and Social Care. CaHRU conducts world-leading interdisciplinary research with service users, health service professionals and organisations to increase health and well-being across the health, social and third sector care services.
