Hey mate love the videos, I’m from a similar background from you I’m going into my 3rd year of sport science, how hard is a msc in physio and what’s the transition like from sport science?
Hey, thanks for watching. There is a lot of similarities regarding the content, especially when it comes to biomechanics and physiology. The biggest difference is the introduction of more anatomy knowledge, and of the different conditions/pathologies and how to treat/diagnose them. With an MSc you're marked at level 7, so it's a deffo step up, however, if you're consistently achieving high 2:2s/2:1s for your BSc then I think you'll be fine. The biggest challenge I found was placements. You can be in a variety of different environments such as A&E, outpatient clinics, home visits etc and sometimes your placement educator might mark you harshly. In this case it's making sure you're getting your time to decompress on the weekends. Hope that helps!
@@petermcadam thank you for the reply mate, I get along with physiology quite well I struggled at first but I’ve wrapped my head around it, biomechanics I don’t understand much but that’s because the first year of uni we didn’t really go into much detail on it and then the second year I had a foreign teacher who I couldn’t really understand so I fell behind on that, currently a few marks away from a 2:1 so I’m in a decent position, I’ve heard there’s of a lot of content to cover so o imagine it would be quite time consuming.
Hi mate, love the videos, I was wondering you could tell me roughly how often you have to go into uni every week whilst studying Physio, what are the contact hours like?
Heya, thanks for watching. Every degree programme will be very different depending on what University you study at, however, generally speaking you will go through periods of attending lectures and then on placement. For my degree we had placements of around 7 weeks, which is basically like working full-time. Then followed by 2-3 months of attending lectures Wednesday-Friday. But again, every course will be different!
Hiya, the main books my course recommended are below. - Physical management of neurological conditions by Sheila Lennon - Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy: Adults and Paediatrics by Eleanor Main - Anatomy and Human Movement: Structure and function by Roger Soames I've linked what I think are the main neurological, respiratory, and MSK book. Hope this helps. The best resource for students in my opinion is "clinical physio" though!
