About the series

Our ethos

Physiotherapy is a profession defined by its impact on people. Our MSc Physiotherapy (Pre-Registration) programme believes that impact starts long before graduation, in the connections our students build with practising clinicians, researchers, and leaders across the profession.

Each term, we bring clinicians from across NHS Scotland, private practice, and sport into direct contact with our students, through masterclasses, informal Q&A sessions, and hands-on practice opportunities. Every session is delivered voluntarily, by people who believe, as we do, that the next generation of physiotherapists deserves to learn from those already doing the work.

This isn't just professional development. It's a demonstration of how connected, collaborative, and open our programme is with the profession it serves, and a chance for students to build the relationships, insight, and confidence that will carry them into practice.
