What you will study
Our Paramedic Science course is designed in collaboration with the local ambulance trust and mapped to the College of Paramedics’ educational guidance.

In your first year, you’ll study topics that are fundamental to paramedic science, including concepts of caring, essential paramedic practice, physical health, and research and evidence-based practice, ensuring you have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of your degree.

During your second year, you’ll learn about care across the lifespan, management of physical and mental health, patient assessments and public health.

In your third year, you’ll delve deeper into effective decision-making for complex care, clinical leadership and consolidated paramedic practice, and patient management. You’ll also learn how to critically evaluate and appraise research and healthcare literature.

Throughout your time at Surrey, you’ll also explore and develop the values required in modern healthcare, as outlined in the NHS Constitution.
