Paramedic Science

Study level:
Undergraduate

Course summary

This 3 year, full time, undergraduate course leads to professional registration as a paramedic in the UK. Upon graduation, you will make a significant contribution to the lives of others during medical and mental health emergencies. You will contribute to the development of services and the paramedic profession through research and development.

Gain the expertise and skills for the profession as it develops into non-traditional areas, such as community care, as well as for working in the ambulance setting. Our expert staff, new facilities, and state of the art equipment are all tailored to ensure that you get the best possible experience and education to prepare you for your career.

Delivered using a blended learning approach, there is a mixture of face-to-face and online learning, self-directed study and experiential learning. This approach will allow you flexibility of learning opportunities and is designed to be inclusive if you have different learning needs, caring roles and responsibilities.

Professional placements will take place in a variety of settings, from hospitals to community care, where you will be supported by experienced professionals and academics. Workplace practice is integral to your learning and this course ensures that you will be ready to face real life challenges in your career.

You will not be required to drive an ambulance vehicle as part of this course. However, you will be required to transport yourself to and from your placements, which may be some distance from campus. We would strongly recommend that you have vehicle and the appropriate license to operate it.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

For all UK applicants, we look at six factors:
• Where you live
• Your school or college
• Age
• Disability
• First in family to study in HE
• Time in care
These six factors create a point score, which is then taken into account, along with standard criteria. The points don’t influence whether an offer is made but can influence the type of offer made, resulting in reduced or unconditional offers.
Full information is on our website, including scheme adaptations for individual courses.
