Podiatry BSc (Hons) Podiatry
What’s it about?
Podiatry is the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of foot and lower limb disorders, many of which are caused by general health disorders. Podiatrists work with children with gait abnormalities, people with high-risk conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or cerebral palsy and people who need specialist footwear to accommodate foot deformities. They also provide gait analysis and treatment for athletes with biomechanical problems or sports injuries.
What will I learn?
When you first arrive, you will learn the basic practical skills and knowledge to enable you to treat patients safely. You will also acquire the reflective, critical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills that are essential to professional practice.
During the following years of study, you will experience a mixture of lectures, workshops and clinical sessions to develop and extend these practical skills. Clinical studies are held in our new purpose-built clinics and in a range of NHS placements. We aim to develop your skills through observation, demonstration and practice.
Modules include: • Integrated Life Sciences • Human Gait Studies • Diagnosis and Management • Methods of Enquiry • Professional Practice (clinical work) • Professional Studies (the theory behind clinical work)
How will I learn?
Teaching is delivered using a combination of lectures, problem-based learning, tutorials, patient case study workshops and clinical sessions.
Can I get work experience?
You will gain a wide amount of experience from clinical placements within NHS trusts throughout all levels, including some at highly specialised, multidisciplinary podiatry clinics such as the internationally renowned Diabetes Centre in Manchester.
What about funding?
If you are a UK or EU student you will have your tuition fees paid for you. You will also qualify for a means-tested NHS bursary. You are eligible to apply for Department of Health bursaries, irrespective of whether you have previously obtained a grant from your Local Education Authority (LEA).
Where can I get a job?
Podiatrists can work alongside doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and other professionals as a vital part of the health care team. After graduating from the programme you will be able to apply for jobs within the NHS, private practice, industry or commerce. You may wish to specialise in areas such as paediatrics, diabetology, rheumatology or sports-related problems. Recent graduates from this programme went on to work within the NHS, set up their own private practices, applied for research opportunities and two graduates went to work in Singapore.
