About the Course
The Advanced Physiotherapy programme at Manchester Metropolitan University contains units in several clinical specialities including: physiotherapy; cardio-respiratory therapy; manual therapy; musculoskeletal therapy and neurological therapy. These units have been developed after consultation with students, other practitioners and service managers and are intended to equip the student/practitioner with the skills to develop their practice at a unit and organisational level.
However, no matter whether students choose to focus on one or many of the different specialist areas of focus above, you will graduate with an MSc Advanced Physiotherapy.
Each of these areas consists of core units which must be taken in order for you to achieve the academic standards required to successfully complete your programme and be eligible to be awarded an MSc degree by the University. In addition, there are a range of optional units which can be taken to improve your professional practice or develop specialist skills in a particular area.
Some of these units may be delivered by other MasterÕs programmes within the University. This not only widens the variety of units, which you can study but also offers the potential formulti-professional education and professional study.
Whilst there is freedom to choose a range of units, which interest the student and develop multi-professional practice, Advanced Physiotherapy units must form two thirds of your final credits in order to successfully graduate from the programme.
Features and benefits of the course
- Full time students have up to 15 months to complete the course, taught units should be completed within 12 months.
- Part time students must undertake a minimum of one unit per year
- All students must take either the Dissertation or the Advanced Physiotherapy Project Unit. Students cannot take both.
- The Manual Therapy focus provides eligibility for membership of the Musculoskeletal Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (MACP).

Career options after the course
Students entering the Programme are mature, professional practitioners who, at the end of their studies, will wish to, and be expected to, make a difference to practice.
The overall teaching, learning and assessment strategy therefore is one that will enable students, where appropriate, to make a beneficial impact on practice. The strategies are ones that perpetually integrate theory and practice. These strategies will respect the diversity of students, their learning styles, their client populations and the various workforces with whom students work.
