Rehabilitation Studies

Programme outline and modules

The modules aim to develop practical skills and theoretical knowledge in the psychology of rehabilitation - appropriate for those working with adults. The focus is on specialist skills such as evaluating research or behaviour change and adaptation, providing a broad professional underpinning to practice, with a range of patient groups.

Developed by NHS healthcare professionals, the course is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of tutors including psychologists, counsellors, and hearing therapists, to ensure that each module draws on the most recent developments in theory and practice.

Learning, teaching & assessment

The programme is assessed through continuous assessment and coursework, with an emphasis on reflective practice, and a research dissertation.

Professional accreditation

The programme does not grant the student membership of a professional body or institute, but several individual modules are accredited by the British Association of Audiologists (BAA).

Career opportunities

Recent graduates are all employed in NHS or overseas health service professions.

Personal development

In addition to skills directly taught in courses (e.g. Counselling, Cognitive Stimulation, teaching communication skills), students will also acquire evidence based evaluation skills, report writing, quantitative evaluation (appropriate use of statistics), interviewing and evaluation of interviewing outcomes.

Duration of programme: Full-time: 12 months, part-time: 2 - 3 years
