Course Overview

The MSc Physiotherapy (Pre-registration) at Edinburgh Napier University prepares graduates from other disciplines to become registered physiotherapists through intensive academic study and clinical practice. Students study musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, and cardiovascular physiotherapy, rehabilitation, exercise therapy, clinical reasoning, anatomy, and evidence-based practice.
