Introduction

Course Overview Professionally approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), our BSc (Hons) Podiatry degree programme offers integrated theoretical and clinical studies, which is dependant on the completion of 1,000 clinical hours across levels 4, 5 and 6 of the programme. This requirement enables the new graduate to demonstrate that they have met the Standards of Proficiency necessary for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) – the UK regulator for the Health Professions. Due to this programme being NHS funded and therefore limited places being available which may fluctuate each year, unfortunately, deferred applications cannot be considered. Learning & Teaching The programme is offered in such a way that clinical practice is developed alongside the academic delivery. This ensures that theory is always integrated with practice. The Centre offers a wide range of learning opportunities that enable students to experience most of the therapeutic modalities available in podiatric practice. The Llandaff Campus has a large clinical facility with a gait laboratory, orthosis manufacturing laboratories and a recently established anatomy and physiology laboratory where technology is used to enhance the delivery of these subjects. There is also a simulation suite where a variety of pre-clinical diagnostic and treatment skills can be developed. At the commencement of studies there is a mandatory requirement for all new students to undertake and complete an occupational health and vaccination-screening programme. Employability & Careers Graduates are able to gain work in the public (NHS) and private sector (practice, industry, commerce). Currently newly qualified podiatrists have ample opportunities to gain employment with little or no delay following graduation.
