Paramedic Science BSc (Hons)

At Bournemouth University, we aim to ensure that you are able to fulfil the role of a modern-day paramedic- ready for an ever-changing and evolving workforce. As well as providing emergency care for critically ill patients, you will develop advanced assessment and decision-making skills so you can decide the appropriate referral method for less seriously unwell patients. The course maintains small cohort sizes resulting in excellent lecturer-to-student ratio meaning more support, education and resource availability, throughout your three years. Our course features an equal spilt of theory and practical elements and you will have access to simulation suites within the university- during both taught and student-managed learning sessions. In addition, there are opportunities to undertake training and exercises at external locations across the region. This course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and endorsed by the College of Paramedics. As part of the degree you will experience over 2,000 hours of placement experience throughout the course in a diverse array of settings. **Funding support**: Paramedic Science students may be eligible for a non-repayable government training grant of at least £5,000 a year.
