Course Overview

Our Paramedic Science course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to become an autonomous, effective, and safe paramedic. Clinical education is central to paramedic science and around 50% of your time will be in both ambulance and non-ambulance practice settings to help you develop in your profession and apply theory to current practice.

We have strong working links with South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SECAmb), and you'll be spending most of your placement time working with professionals in this Trust. You'll also undertake some of your placement time working in the community, GP Practices, and secondary care, so you are exposed to the whole patient journey.

Upon successfully completing your degree, you will be a safe and competent paramedic able to work alone or as part of a team, applying your professional judgment and being accountable for your decisions.

A wide range of career opportunities is available following registration, for example, specialist clinical practice in critical care or urgent care, management, education, or research. Additionally, on successful completion of the course, there are opportunities within the Faculty of Health and Wellbeing to progress to postgraduate study to extend your abilities in paramedic science or research through a Masters's in Research or a Doctoral degree.
