Masters Degree Description

Pave the way for a specialist career in neurophysiotherapy on this flexible, well-established Master’s degree. Exploring the clinical, academic and research components of evidence-based neurophysiotherapy practice, you will complete at least one clinical placement, conduct your own research, and develop your understanding about how to help patients with neurological conditions access the most effective treatments.
