Rehabilitation PgDip/MSc: Course features

What this course offers you

This interdisciplinary Rehabilitation MSc is open to all practitioners working in health and social care.
However, all assignments aim to be relevant to your particular learning needs and areas of work. One module will focus specifically on experimental practice relevant to your own area of rehabilitation.
Your research project gives you the chance to further specialise in an area of interest.
Teaching focuses on small, interactive group work, supported by lectures by relevant experts.
Many teaching staff are research active, which keeps your learning cutting-edge, and others are expert practitioners. This combination of academics and practitioners provides a uniquely dynamic environment. Read more in our Research areas and Links with the health sector sections.
As well as developing your understanding of your specialist area, this course will make sure you:
- keep up to date with recent developments, legal requirements and ethically-sound practice;
- reflect critically on your practice;
- develop your judgement and decision-making skills;
- improve your networking skills; and
- gain skills in managing others.
You also have the chance to meet other professionals in the same situation as yourself.
The course is modular, with each module taught in a free-standing block, allowing you to attend as you would for a short course. You can even take two of the modules - 'Rehabilitation Policy and Practice' and 'Rehabilitation in Context' - as stand-alone courses without committing to the full MSc.
We also offer a part-time option over two years with modules taught though day-release sessions to provide maximum flexibility and help you fit your studies around other commitments.
