BSc (Hons) Paramedic Science
Program Description
This dynamic course takes you beyond the old perception of the paramedic, called out purely for life-threatening situations. It develops your clinical knowledge and confidence, equipping you with the skills needed for emergency and unscheduled care, and ensuring you meet the requirements of the modern ambulance service and expanding paramedic role. Taking you from novice to expert over three years of study, the course uses a blended approach to learning, ensuring theory clearly meets with practice. Each year, you undertake 750 hours of placement learning, spending around 50% of your time in supervised, supported practice so you experience the full 24-hour working pattern.
The course has been developed in partnership with the East of England Ambulance Service. It is recognised by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and, on successful course completion, leads to eligibility to register as a paramedic.
