  • Normally have two years post qualification experience.
  • Normally be working in the field of women's health and/or continence care.

Admission is on the basis of submission of an application form, curriculum vitae, references, letter of support from your physiotherapy manager (if relevant), and possible advisory interview (to discuss the content and expectations of the programme).

English language requirements

Overseas students whose first language is not English must satisfy the University that they meet the International English Language Testing Service (IELTS). An overall band score of at least 6.5 in IELTS with no banding below 6.0 is required.

If you do not meet the IELTS requirement, and you have a UKVI approved IELTS, you can take a University of Bradford pre-sessional English course. See the Language Centre for more details. For further information on English Language requirements please see the dedicated international entry requirements page.

Learning and assessment

Introductory lectures, small group discussions and seminar presentations will be used to develop theoretical knowledge, critical thinking and shared inter-professional learning. Practical workshops will enable you to relate theoretical knowledge to practical skills using relevant examination techniques taking into account the influence of patients' cultural, religious and personal preference.

You will have the opportunity to undertake a formative presentation to your peers and will receive both peer and academic feedback. As some of the module is completed by distance learning you will be encouraged to use the VLE to share practice, case scenarios and literature.

The directed study time will be used to review relevant anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and pathology as well as undertaking advanced literature searches, critical appraisal of relevant research and preparation for assessments.

The assessments will allow you to demonstrate in-depth subject knowledge and develop your verbal and written presentation skills. Throughout the module you will be encouraged to employ a holistic and patient-centred approach within the overall physiotherapy management of women's health. Formal and informal feedback will be given during practical sessions, following presentations and written assignments.
