MSc Physiotherapy
PLEASE NOTE:
All MSc PT applicants will receive an email notification before the end of the 2nd week of May on the MScPT Admissions Committee decisions for September 2023.
An important adjustment was recently made to our MScPT curriculum programming.
To align our curriculum with the University’s academic calendar, we have extended the duration of the MScPT program from 24 months (6 terms) to 28 months (7 terms). This means, for those entering the MscPT program in September 2022 and onward, minor adjustments have been made to course timing and duration with the final clinical education courses occurring in the fall term of the 3rd year.

About our MScPT Program
Discover the endless opportunities that the profession of Physiotherapy has to offer. Physiotherapy is a diverse and interesting career that involves the study of physical function of the human body in health and disease. The MSc Physiotherapy program educates physiotherapists who excel in their profession through advanced education and research training in the rehabilitation sciences.
The MSc Physiotherapy degree prepares students with the professional education and experience necessary to apply for a license to practice physiotherapy. Basic science content is integrated with physiotherapy-specific course content focusing on the following themes: clinical reasoning and best practices; professionalism, leadership and collaboration; ethical reasoning and cultural sensitivity; innovation and entrepreneurship; therapeutic exercise; health promotion and secondary prevention; and communication.
Clinical education is an integral part of physiotherapy academics. Site visits and clinical placements are taken at a variety of facilities throughout the program and can start as early as September of your first year. The main purpose of the clinical placements is to provide the student with an opportunity, under professional supervision, to practice the assessment and treatment skills and to utilize the knowledge acquired during the academic modules.
