MSc Physiotherapy or BSc Physiotherapy

[salampips]

I am wondering if anyone can help me. I already hold a BSc in Sports Therapy and an MSc in Sports Rehabilitation. I do not hold an A level in Biology however both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees covered anatomy and physiology- I also hold a cardiac rehabilitation qualification. I have contacted many university's and they have confirmed that they would allow me to apply with my current qualifications.

I am in the process of deciding whether I should embark upon a degree in Physio allowing me to progress within my career, the issue I have is that although this is a great idea realistically I still have bills to pay and a mortgage to pay for too. Although my partner would be willing to support me through this I would still need to work at points throughout my week therefore I guess my real question is what is the best route for me to take MSc or BSc? what one will allow me to work at points throughout either degree? and does anyone favour one degree over the other?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
not quite sure what you mean, as MSc and BSc for Physio are very different degrees.
First of all the pre-requisites. For BSc just school certificate (with certain conditions); for MSc you need to find a Uni that accepts your BSc as baseline degree. Not sure what a BSc in Sports Therapy is (? similar to Sports and Exercise Science)
Then the time factor: BSc is 3 years, MSc is 2 years.
In both, it is possible to work on weekends and in term breaks.

Also, you say you want to progress your career. Being a Physio does not progress your career, but walks adown a completely different path which has got very little to do with Sports Therapy. (e.g. there is lots of Physios looking after Sports teams on WE, but very few have a fulltime professional career in Sports). Do you actually want to be a Physio? So you have decided on a career change?

Hope this helps,
cheers,
