This is an advanced academic course designed for new graduates as well as professional practitioners (e.g. occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and other rehabilitation sciences, professions allied to medicine) with a special interest in neuro-rehabilitation; the course offers the opportunity to acquire advanced theoretical knowledge, a deeper understanding of research and the ability to critically appraise scientific literature; the course explores the neurosciences in health and disease, and takes a research-based approach to encourage critical and analytical thinking about current theory and practice in neuro-rehabilitation; the course does not further clinical skills, nor does it lead to registration from the UK professional governing bodies, but rather focuses on developing the practitioner�s ability to conduct and evaluate neuro-rehabilitation research; following the successful completion of the taught modules of the programme, students are expected to undertake a research project for the dissertation relevant to their specialist areas within neuro-rehabilitation.
