Course summary

Podiatrists are experts in foot and ankle health keeping people of all ages active. Choosing to become a podiatrist will give you a broad scope of practice with a scientific approach to diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of people with foot problems. A podiatry degree can launch a dynamic career and is a springboard to specialising in other areas of the profession such as sports medicine, injection therapy, independent prescribing, clinical research and podiatric surgery. The course has been designed, and continues to be developed, by expert educationalists, service-users and carers. Work-based learning is an integral part of the course and you spend 1,000 hours in clinical practice during your three years. Opportunities to attend vascular ward rounds at Derriford Hospital. Observe an independent practitioner working in the private sector. A Ministry of Defence placement is available for high achievers. Practitioners with specialist roles are invited to lecture regularly in years 2 and 3. Train and practice your professional healthcare skills in an inspiring purpose-built environment, InterCity Place.We feel that our course strongly benefits from having the views of our service-users in the development of new strategies and module design. This is achieved through our school forum where our service-users are invited to contribute to curriculum development and decision-making.


Please note:

in order to successfully complete your course and be eligible to apply for a professional registration you must complete a specified number of practice placement hours along with your theoretical study. This is a requirement of the HCPC. Therefore you will only be able to take personal holidays during the specified leave periods for your course.
