Study for a degree in Paramedic Science and take your first steps towards a career where you can make a real difference where it’s needed most. In this fast-paced profession you’ll be tackling difficult and demanding situations, thinking on your feet, using your initiative and making conscientious, patient-centered decisions every day. Both challenging and exciting, our course will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to assess, treat, diagnose, supply and administer medicines, and to manage, discharge and refer patients in urgent, emergency, critical and non-hospital settings. Our course is endorsed by the College of Paramedics and will leave you with all of the skills and knowledge necessary to enter a fulfilling career in paramedic science. Year-on-year, you’ll build on your skills, knowledge and experience, developing a solid foundation for your paramedic career. You’ll explore real human anatomy in our anatomy suite. And you’ll work side-by-side with other students and healthcare professionals. Throughout the course, you’ll complete placements on ambulances, specialist units and in general practice, so you can put the theory you’ve learnt to use. You’ll also have the opportunity to undertake an elective placement in your final year that will make your programme unique and tailored to your interests. At UEA, we have a variety of facilities, courses and resources which will make you particularly skilled, knowledgeable, and employable. You’ll be able to take the Resuscitation Council’s eAdvanced Life Support course, leaving you with an internationally-recognised certification. You’ll spend time in our anatomy suite, giving you hands-on experience with the different systems of the human body. Finally, external placements will allow you to gain skills and form connections which will aid you in beginning your post-graduate career. After finishing your course, you’ll have all of the training needed to register with the Health and Care Professions Council as a licensed paramedic. Upon registration, you’ll be able to enter a number of diverse and challenging career paths in both NHS and private practice. You’ll also be well set up to continue your studies as a clinical researcher or educator.
