Course summary

This 4-year full-time course is designed to equip students with the essential knowledge, practical skills and professional behaviours for a rewarding and lifelong career as a Paramedic. However, this 4-year programme also includes a Foundation Year which has a focus upon developing the key academic skills necessary for successful completion of the programme. These academic skills include academic writing, referencing and presentation skills and this course of study is targeted towards those applicants that might have been out of the education system for some time, or might have just fallen slightly short of the UCAS tariff for our 3-year programme. This BSc (Hons) Paramedic Science with Foundation Year widens participation into the profession and upon successful completion of this Foundation Year, students will progress seamlessly onto year 1 of our 3-year programme.


Our Foundation Year programme has been designed to prepare you for studying at undergraduate level and provide you with the required skills and knowledge to transition effectively into Level 4 study

  • You will be taught not only by Paramedics but also by other subject matter experts (e.g. Midwives). We are a passionate and highly experienced teaching team who are ready to prepare you for a career as a Paramedic.
