Our paramedic science degree prepares you to work at the frontline of patient care. Paramedics work in dynamic environments and administer a range of often life-saving treatments to people suffering from traumatic injuries and/or medical problems.

Paramedics are often the first emergency service on the scene but also work in a multitude of settings including GP surgeries and the community. This course aims to prepare you for the challenges that come with providing emergency and urgent care to a diverse population in pre-hospital and out-of-hospital environments.

  • Successful completion means you can apply for professional registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a paramedic.

  • Develop the skills and medical knowledge needed to provide safe and effective paramedic care.

  • Learn to thrive in dynamic health and care environments and multidisciplinary teams, developing clinical reasoning, relationship and teamwork skills alongside your understanding of healthcare systems.

  • Focus on one module at a time, with five weeks of learning followed by one week of assessment per module.

  • Hands-on experience through practice-based learning includes simulated learning and placement opportunities across the NHS to help you decide the direction of your future career.

  • All eligible home students on this course can apply for a minimum payment from the Government of £5,000 per year, with additional payments for students incurring childcare costs.
