MSc Physiotherapy
(New for October 2025 and Subject to Validation)
The MSc Physiotherapy program at Liverpool Hope University equips you with the essential skills and knowledge vital for a thriving career. Whether you're from the UK or an international student, this program is designed to inspire individuals passionate about enhancing mobility, function, and overall quality of life for those with diverse health conditions.
Delivered through a blend of university-based learning, clinical placements, and continuous professional development, our aim is to mould you into competent, professional, and innovative clinicians poised to shape the future of physiotherapy. The field of physiotherapy is dynamic, with practitioners contributing to various settings and environments. Our experienced academics will provide comprehensive support as you master a spectrum of physical and psychological techniques to assist individuals in improving, recovering, and maintaining mobility and independence.
The programme will be delivered through blended-learning which entails a mixture of teaching methods including; online lectures, practical sessions and face-to-face seminars. You will complete a minimum of 1000 clinical hours across a multitude of different clinical environments to provide you with a broad understanding of various professional settings. These will include traditional NHS physiotherapy rotations and emerging placements to represent the extending scope of a Chartered Physiotherapist. Exposure to such opportunities will maximise your ability to work within various multi-disciplinary teams to provide a more holistic view and understanding of rehabilitation and management of conditions.
We’ll support you as you learn about the structure and function of the human body in the context of health, disease, disorder and dysfunction, across the lifespan. You will explore the theories and physiotherapy approaches that can be applied to enhance movement and minimise loss of function, focusing on the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological systems. There will be consideration of expanding areas of physiotherapy such as the principles of management for women’s health, amputees and palliative care. We’ll help you develop knowledge of the biomedical, physical, clinical and behavioural science that underpins physiotherapy practice, and gain skills in physical assessment, treatment and evaluation. Developing interpersonal skills, such as respecting the needs and choices of individual service users, their carers and families, along with their cultural, social and religious backgrounds, are prioritised. We’ll also focus on helping you gain an understanding of the political, social and economic factors that are influencing the current and future delivery of physiotherapy, health and social care services.
The programme is subject to validation from the university and accreditation from the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and Health & care Professions Council (HCPC). Completion of the programme will enable you to apply for membership of both the CSP and HCPC.
