MSc (Rehabilitation Research - Physiotherapy)

The MSc (Rehabilitation Research - Physiotherapy) is designed to provide graduates with research experience.

The MSc (Rehabilitation Research - Physiotherapy) program aims to improve the evidence that we use in clinical practice.  In this advanced, thesis-based MSc, students enrich their research knowledge and gain valuable teaching experience. Applicants must hold a university degree in Physiotherapy, or in a related area of study.

The MSc Rehabilitation Research in Physiotherapy program is designed to provide graduates with: 

  1. The ability to design and implement research in diverse areas of physiotherapy;
  2. The knowledge necessary to integrate evidence-based assessment and treatment in physiotherapy;
  3. Valuable teaching experience in physiotherapy and related areas.

The Master of Science Rehabilitation Research in Physiotherapy does not prepare graduates to take the physiotherapy licensure exams; applicants who want to study to become physiotherapists need to apply to the entry-level MSc (Physiotherapy) program.
