The BSc in Paramedic Science is designed to develop you into an effective clinician with the capability of responding to, and managing, life-threatening emergency situations from cardiac arrest to multi-system trauma. You will also cover minor illness and injury as managing these types of patient calls, along with chronic conditions, are the main part of a paramedic’s work load. The programme will train you in out-of- hospital care, mental health, social needs, maternity, chronic conditions, pharmacology and trauma.
The degree combines learning in the workplace of which 50% of your course is spent between the UK’s busiest Ambulance Trust, and other practice placements, and 50% being spent with academic study.
Once enrolled on the course you can apply for student membership of the College of Paramedics, the UK’s paramedic professional body. This can be upgraded to full membership following graduation and you will be eligible to be considered for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council.
