Master of Philosophy (Physiotherapy)

A Master of Philosophy (Physiotherapy) at The University of Notre Dame Australia is a research degree that combines coursework in research training with writing a major research thesis. It is possible if you have other disciplines to undertake a Master of Philosophy in Physiotherapy, but additional coursework may be required to support the study process. The Master of Philosophy (Physiotherapy) is a postgraduate research degree comprising both coursework and a substantial research component culminating in submitting a thesis or equivalent for independent examination. You will be required to have a minimum of two supervisors who will provide support and academic guidance throughout the degree. Supervisors will help you to prepare their research proposal and continue to mentor and direct their work until the thesis is put forward for examination. You can undertake the program in either a full-time or a part-time capacity. The standard time for completion (not including periods of approved leave of absence) will generally be one and a half years for a full-time student and three years for a part-time student. The minimum time for completion will generally be one year and is usually only applicable to students with prior research experience or qualifications.
