Course summary

Prosthetists provide artificial limbs to assist individuals with missing limbs, while orthotists supply braces and splints to support, correct, or aid the function of those with conditions affecting the neurological, muscular, and skeletal systems.

This course equips you with the skills to assess and treat individuals requiring prosthetic and orthotic care. You will gain expertise in biomechanics, human movement, and gait analysis. The course integrates practical training with relevant theoretical knowledge to ensure comprehensive learning.

We offer the only full-time BSc (Hons) three-year degree programme in the UK, accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This accreditation allows graduates to apply for dual registration as prosthetists and orthotists with the HCPC, qualifying you for employment both in the UK and internationally.
