Bachelor of Podiatry (Honours)

Program Overview

High achieving students may be considered for the Bachelor of Podiatry (Honours), which will give you a competitive edge in your health career.

Healthy feet are an important part of the body’s holistic health, and many of us at some point in our lives will experience foot problems. In this honour's degree, there’s a major focus on practical skills for keeping the foot and lower limb healthy every day, as well the ability to diagnose and treat illnesses and disabilities. You’ll get the opportunity to practise these skills within a vast range of industry organisations.


What you'll learn
You’ll gain an advanced understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of podiatry, as well as the physical, chemical, and social sciences relevant to working in healthcare. The curriculum covers the scope of a podiatrist’s practice, including paediatrics, diabetes, sports injuries, musculoskeletal problems, treatment of the elderly, and general foot care.

During the first year, you’ll cover topics to give you an introduction to health sciences including:

  • Human anatomy
  • Human physiology
  • Biomechanics
  • Disease groups and conditions

You’ll develop advanced communication skills and explore the assessment and treatment of common problems. The second year will expand your knowledge in clinical sciences, including skills to enable comprehensive and holistic assessment and management of patient conditions. During your third and fourth years, you’ll work on your clinical practice skills, including surgery (and other orthopaedic management), paediatrics, wound management, high-risk foot management, chronic pain and sporting injuries.

Practical learning is a major focus and some of your learning will take place in our on-campus podiatry clinics as well as during external placements in metro and rural SA. You’ll also get the opportunity to fine-tune your podiatry skills with 3D printed feet, created as part of a world-first podiatry training initiative.
