The term neuromusculoskeletal refers to the musculoskeletal system and the related neuromuscular and cardiovascular systems
This course enables students to study the health care of patients with neuromusculoskeletal 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 part-time, or modules can be taken as independent stand-alone programmes of study

The School of Health & Rehabilitation is based on Keele campus and has a well-established undergraduate physiotherapy programme
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)
