MSc Rehabilitation

The MSc Rehabilitation helps students develop their professional practice, enabling them to approach rehabilitation issues through critical thinking, research evidence, theoretical models and clinical reasoning. Graduates can apply their knowledge and skills in:

• leadership roles in the field of rehabilitation,
• specialist professional roles,
• specialist rehabilitation units or settings,
• educational roles,
• research roles,
• interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams.

Graduates of the MSc Rehabilitation can, also, apply their specialist knowledge and skills across a wide range of rehabilitation structures and services, such as hospitals, rehabilitation centres, private clinics, paediatric services, sports organisations and interdisciplinary clinical environments.
The availability of specialist pathways significantly enhances their professional prospects, as it enables them to deepen their expertise in key areas of contemporary rehabilitation, such as therapeutic exercise and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, cardiorespiratory rehabilitation, paediatric rehabilitation and neurological rehabilitation. In this way, graduates can respond to the diverse needs of patients and populations, participate effectively in interdisciplinary teams and contribute to the provision of comprehensive, evidence-based and personalised care.
