Physiotherapy Studies: Cardiorespiratory MSc

UCL (University College London)

Explore the newest, and emerging, treatment options for patients with cardiorespiratory disorders on this one-year, specialist MSc, working with UCL’s renowned academics. Covering the clinical, academic and research aspects of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy, the course is the ideal grounding for a career in policy-making, lecturing, management, or private or clinical practice. This Physiotherapy Studies Cardiorespiratory MSc gives you the chance to work alongside UCL and external experts to build your knowledge in the practical and theoretical aspects of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy. You will challenge the foundations of established, but often poorly justified, treatments, carry out your own clinical research, and become familiar with new and emerging ways to treat patients presenting with these conditions. Studying at a top university that is helping to shape new thinking and approaches to public health means you will be taught by, and receive clinical mentorship from, world-renowned specialists. The course has a diverse array of module choices, from acute cardiorespiratory physiotherapy skills to the heart through life, health and disease, and is designed largely in short blocks to help you organise your studies around work or other commitments. By the end of your year with us, you will be in a strong position to move into advanced practice roles, leadership or academic positions, such as part-time teaching or lecturing. This degree is suitable for World Physiotherapy recognised qualified physiotherapists with more than 12 months of supervised work experience, beyond their internship, within the Cardiorespiratory field. Also suitable for experienced practitioners who prefer not to undertake clinical placements for reasons including restrictions on study leave. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
