Abstract
The MSc Physiotherapy Pre-registration programme at Glasgow Caledonian University prepares students for registration with the Chartered Society for
Physiotherapy. While the undergraduate Physiotherapy programme is funded by the Government, the 2 year MSc programme is self-funded. The Health Promotion module, part of the new MSc Physiotherapy pre-registration curriculum, is perceived by many students as a ‘non-core’ subject in relation to physiotherapy and student engagement has historically been poor. The module team applied
action-research to redesign the delivery of the 12 week module using an engagement-through partnership approach as advocated by the Higher
Education Academy (HEA, 2014).
