Key facts:

In order to be awarded the MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy at University of Liverpool Online, students must successfully complete the above six modules, plus a Research Project. The programme is only available over one year on a full time basis.

The MSc is only available full time and is based at the University of Liverpool's Leahurst campus, supported by taught coursework modules.

The taught coursework modules provide materials on our Virtual Learning Environment supported by practical periods in the form of residential schools and clinical placements. During the trimesters, students are encouraged to work with their cohort with assessed and informal meeting opportunities. There are regular asynchronous learning opportunities with fellow students and academics online via discussion boards and scheduled synchronous evening journal clubs and meetings as well as opportunities during the face to face practical sessions.

The virtual learning environment also includes access to the University of Liverpool's online library.

As part of the taught coursework modules, alongside your master's research, students attend a total of 4 weeks or 20 days practical training at the University of Liverpool's Leahurst campus, 20 practical days with a clinical educator and an additional 10 days in veterinary practices over the programme. The 50 days of practical training provide students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills learned on the programme.
