Rehabilitation

Develop the knowledge, skills and understanding required to fulfil a role in the rehabilitation of people with neurological conditions, including children, young people and adults.

To be considered for entry into the programme, applicants must:

• Be a healthcare professional.
• Hold a bachelor degree. If you don’t hold a bachelor degree, please see the recognition of prior learning pathway.
• Experience in neurology and gerontology desirable, but not essential. Each application will be assessed on an individual basis. If English is not your first language, you will also need to supply a copy of an IELTS examination or equivalent, with an overall score of at least 6.5 and no individual band below 6.5. English language requirements for RCSI Postgraduate programmes are published here. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) If you do not meet the minimum academic requirements above, you may still be eligible to apply through recognition of prior learning (RPL). RPL is the assessment of knowledge, skills and competence previously acquired. Learning occurs in many contexts which include work, involvement in social and community activities, or learning through life experience generally. RPL does not give credit for experience as such; rather it considers the learning that was acquired as a result of the experience. RPL may be used to gain:
• Admission to courses/programmes where a person may not have obtained the standard entry requirements.
• Exemptions from course modules which duplicate the learning outcomes an individual has already demonstrably acquired through prior learning.
