Overview

As a research student at Physiotherapy at University of Essex, you’ll work at the heart of our internationally acknowledged and well-connected research community. Our School of Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences offers an environment with an excellent reputation for research and teaching. A unique feature of our School is that many of our staff work with local National Health Service (NHS) Trusts and other local health agencies, which enhances our grasp of the contemporary links between academic research, the major issues of the day and practice.

We also offer an MPhil in this subject. Both full- and part-time study can be supported. You can also start the PhD in either October, January or April.

Your future

We currently have graduates working in both clinical and management positions in local trusts, hospitals and care organisations, as well as in local and county councils.

Programme Structure

Example structure

A research degree doesn't have a taught structure, giving you the chance to investigate your chosen topic in real depth and reach a profound understanding.

In communicating that understanding, through a thesis or other means, you have a rare opportunity to generate knowledge.

A research degree allows you to develop new high-level skills, enhance your professional development and build new networks. It can open doors to many careers.
