Course Description

A podiatrist is an allied healthcare professional who specialises in assessing and treating the lower limb and foot, preventing foot conditions from deteriorating, and enabling better health.

Helping to keep the population mobile, podiatrists are always in demand; this degree covers everything from health rehabilitation to musculoskeletal care and anaesthesia, and it can be a great route into what can prove a fulfilling career choice where you can make a difference in people’s lives.

As well as attending seminars and lectures, you’ll be taught by industry experts in our on-campus podiatry clinic; using specialist gait analysis equipment, and developing skills in our orthotics laboratory, you’ll gain hands-on experience to give you a unique insight into the world of foot health.
