Overview of the course philosophy
The MSc Advancing Physiotherapy programme is a broad and flexible course in which it is possible to study a variety of different fields of physiotherapy. In order to qualify to apply for MACP membership, students must select the following modules from the Advancing Physiotherapy programme: Musculoskeletal Manual Therapy (MMT) 1 and 2 (30 credits each), Research Methods for Practice (15 credits), Measuring Health Outcomes (15 credits), MACP Clinical Placement (30 credits). At the 120 credit PG Diploma stage you will be eligible to apply for MACP membership. You may then complete a dissertation (60 credits) to be awarded an MSc in Advancing Physiotherapy (Musculoskeletal).
Musculoskeletal Manual Therapy (MMT) 1 & 2 are core modules that encompass a broad perspective of manual therapy philosophies and aim to deepen theoretical understanding, in addition to further developing precision and sensitivity in handling, and improving clinical reasoning ability. They will facilitate independent thinking that challenge and explore key concepts, conceptual approaches and philosophies relating to the management of musculoskeletal disorders. Innovation of patient management and the application of practical techniques will be encouraged.
The third core module, the MACP Clinical Placement, will facilitate the transfer of knowledge from theory into practice and will allow students to focus on specific learning needs.
