Course Description:
The MSc Veterinary Physiotherapy programme has been designed to develop the skills of the student to support veterinary surgeons in the rehabilitation of a variety of species; it focuses in particular on equine and canine patients. It will also focus on supporting equine and canine athletes both during competition and for recovery.

This programme runs on a part-time basis over two years (PG Diploma) or three years (MSc), with the majority of formal content delivered at weekends. The first year includes academic modules to reinforce and expand background knowledge. In the second clinical year, students will work alongside qualified clinicians; the requirement for self-directed practice can be significant. The final year of the MSc programme requires the student to undertake a substantial piece of individual research in the form of a dissertation.

Course Outline:
Students study biomechanics, functional anatomy, pathophysiology of injury and disease, physiotherapeutic techniques, rehabilitation and remedial exercise, academic and professional skills and clinical practice within the first two years. There is also a requirement for students to undertake a number of placement days with a qualified practitioner.

Our veterinary chiropractic course is the education program taken by the many professionals, practicing animal chiropractic throughout the UK and Europe.

We also run multiple other relevant animal courses, offering students educational opportunities and chiropractic qualifications, which may be applied to CPD requirements.

The balanced mix of experienced international instructors include chiropractors, equine and small animal veterinarians, all maintaining busy animal practices.

Course Outline:
The syllabus includes current chiropractic and veterinary science, focusing on anatomy, neurology, biomechanics, and clinical diagnostics, management and techniques. Excellent pro-dissection compliments extensive hands on practical sessions with both horses and dogs.

Graduates will have the knowledge and clinical skills to be able to apply chiropractic care safely and effectively to a range of animal patients, from integrative rehabilitation, performance and companion animal care.
