We also have a full time course MSc Physiotherapy (Neurology)
The MSc Neurological Rehabilitation course enables students to study the health care, management and rehabilitation of people with neurological and neuromuscular problems from a dynamic and expanding perspective
The course provides students with a sound academic core to their relevant clinical practice, encourages a broad approach to health provision, and gives a thorough understanding of research methodology
The overall philosophy is to encourage an analytical, questioning attitude, which in turn will lead to an increase in evidence-based practice together with innovation in clinical practice
Allied Health Professionals and members of other related disciplines often require both academic accreditation and flexibility when seeking continuing professional development (CPD) and our postgraduate courses endeavour to fulfil these needs
This flexible course is available on a part-time or modular route
Additionally, modules can be taken as independent standalone programmes of study
The School of Health & Rehabilitation is based on Keele campus
It has strong connections both with local clinical units and with other Schools within the University such as the Schools of Nursing & Midwifery, Medicine, and Pharmacy
The part-time MSc programme can be completed in two years, but students may take up to five years if they wish (modular route)
The structure of the course therefore allows flexible learning in accordance with individual student interests and needs
Part Time route (2 year course)
Modules are taken over 3 semesters and then the dissertation is taken in the final semester (2 semesters per year)
60 credits of option modules must be taken in total within the first 3 semesters, most modules are 15 credits, some may be 30 credits
For the part time route, payment can be made in 12 instalments over 2 years

Course programme
The part-time MSc programme can be completed in two years, but students may take up to five years if they wish (modular route). The structure of the course therefore allows flexible learning in accordance with individual student interests and needs.
The core modules meet the needs of individuals to review and evaluate the scientific background of their own specialism and to integrate this into their clinical practice. The option modules allow students to devise a programme to suit their own specific requirements in terms of professional and personal development. The Research module and Evidence Based Practice module together with the dissertation develop the student’s research capabilities and critical evaluation skills.
