Program Overview

Introduction

Delivered by dynamic, experienced and supportive tutors, this Paramedic Science degree not only prepares you for today’s profession. It also advances your skills and knowledge, preparing you for ever-changing health care practice.

We equip you to respond to changes in paramedic care, and adapt to deliver new practices.

Our course originated from the need for ongoing recruitment of paramedic graduates by local services. In partnership with Health Education East of England and East of England Ambulance Service Trust (EEAST), we designed a degree that transforms you into a highly competent Paramedic, equipped for the out-of-hospital environment.

To ensure you learn how to deliver safe, effective care, you work alongside paramedic educators during your practice placements, which make up 50 percent of your studies.

We regularly support mentors and students whilst in practice with face-to-face meetings and the additional option of online tutorials in between.

You have plenty of opportunities to hone interpersonal skills too by practicing in public places or at events – carrying out blood pressure checks and teaching CPR for example.

When you complete the degree, you are eligible to apply for registration as a paramedic with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), qualifying you to practice professionally.

Further information about the University's relationship with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is available in the PSRB register.
