This part-time program is designed for experienced allied health professionals looking to deepen their expertise in neuroscience and neurorehabilitation. It aims to enhance your clinical knowledge and research skills, enabling you to critically reflect on your practice, optimize patient care, and improve service delivery. By exploring the connections between research, theory, policy, and practice, you will develop into an effective leader and advanced practitioner in neurorehabilitation. Brunel University understands the demands of balancing study with work and family life. This course is structured for flexibility. The full MSc can be completed over three years part-time, starting in September. Alternatively, you can pursue staged study, earning a Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) after one year, a Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) after two years, and the full MSc after three years. You can also enroll in individual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules to further your learning and potentially return later to complete a full qualification. It's important to apply for the specific stage of study you intend to undertake each year. For example, to progress to the PgDip, you must have completed the PgCert, and you apply for the MSc stage only after completing the PgDip.
Curriculum
The course content is designed with a multidisciplinary perspective and aligns with the Advanced Clinical Practice Framework from Health Education England (now NHS England). You will study core modules in clinical leadership, teaching, and research, alongside specialized modules in neurological rehabilitation. These specialist modules delve into neurophysiology, functional neuroscience for motor, cognitive, and behavioral rehabilitation, and critically evaluate neuroscientific research relevant to neurological conditions.
