Course summary

From learning to deliver a baby to resuscitating a patient whose heart has stopped, every day is different as a paramedic. The BSc in Paramedic Science is our pre-registration programme for this rewarding career – innovative and challenging, with a mix of university and practice-based learning. The full honours award entitles you to apply for registration with the HCPC as a paramedic. Youll develop your knowledge and skills to enter this unique and evolving profession.

The Foundation Year course is designed for anyone who feels they would benefit from extra preparation before undertaking degree-level study or who does not meet the entry requirements for the BSc (Hons) course (due to lower predicted grades or lower performance at a selection event). The academic staff leading selection event processes are well placed to advice on the benefits of additional study or wider preparation in advance of joining a degree course.
