Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Podiatry (with Placements)

Program Overview

Podiatrists are experts in foot and ankle health keeping people of all ages active. Choosing to become a podiatrist will give you a broad scope of practice with a scientific approach to diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of people with foot problems. A podiatry degree can launch a dynamic career, and is a springboard to specialising in other areas of the profession such as sports medicine, injection therapy, independent prescribing, clinical research and podiatric surgery

In your first year, you'll learn the key concepts and theories of podiatric practice including anatomy, biomechanics, physiology and podiatric medicine. We teach you techniques to assess the neurological and vascular systems of the lower limb and introduce you to gait analysis. Undertaking essential shared learning with other healthcare students gives you a broad perspective of multidisciplinary work and you gain practice skills through supervised placements in NHS-based training clinics.

Key features

Employability rates are high within the podiatry profession with potential to work in the NHS, but also as an independent practitioner, with an average starting salary of £25,655 a year (2020–21).
The course has been designed, and continues to be developed, by expert educationalists, service-users and carers.
Work-based learning is an integral part of the course and you spend 1,000 hours in clinical practice during your three years.
Opportunities to attend vascular ward rounds at Derriford Hospital.
Observe an independent practitioner working in the private sector.
A Ministry of Defence placement is available for high achievers.
Practitioners with specialist roles are invited to lecture regularly in years 2 and 3.
Train and practice your professional healthcare skills in an inspiring purpose-built environment, InterCity Place.

We feel that our course strongly benefits from having the views of our service-users in the development of new strategies and module design. This is achieved through our school forum where our service-users are invited to contribute to curriculum development and decision-making.
