Intro
The Podiatry (Pre-Registration) MSc is aimed at graduates wishing to gain both a professional and academic qualification and start a career in this challenging and highly rewarding field.
In this accelerated course, we offer our students a balance of theory and practice experience. You will graduate as a qualified podiatrist who is competent in your clinical skills and able to use contemporary clinical evidence to inform your practice.
The University of Brighton developed and awarded the first degrees in podiatry in the UK and we have been recognised by podiatry's professional bodies for the standard of our teaching. You will have access to our excellent facilities including our own podiatry clinic.
During the course you will accumulate 1,000 hours of clinical practice, giving you essential experience of working with NHS patients and managing your own caseload before you qualify as a podiatrist.
You will also have the opportunity to experience podiatry abroad with an optional short placement in Malta.
Our expert lecturers are all active members of the Royal College of Podiatry, ensuring that both the team and the curriculum stay up to date with podiatry policy and practice.
Our high quality teaching and research are renowned in the sector, and have an applied focus. We have established strong links with specialist practice educators to ensure the provision of support and guidance both within the university and in practice.
Careers
Our graduates enjoy excellent employment prospects, typically securing roles in advanced practice, clinical teaching, research, education and training, and a variety of positions in the NHS and private sector.
They are working in the UK and worldwide in Europe and Canada, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Singapore.
Podiatrists engage with patient care in a wide range of practices from independent work in the community or private practice to multidisciplinary work in a hospital setting. The scope of podiatry practice varies from general foot care (nail, callus, corns) to musculoskeletal care (for example, tendinopathy, provision of insoles, orthoses and footwear), minor surgery (for example, toenail removal) and wound care (for example, diabetic foot ulcers).
With further study and extensive training, graduates can train to become a podiatric surgeon, who is allowed to perform the surgical treatment of the foot and its associated structures.
Graduates of this course are also equipped for further study at MPhil and PhD level.
Degree and experience: Typical entry requirements are an undergraduate degree of 2:2 or above; Applicants without a first degree in a healthcare or science-related degree should provide evidence of study in biological sciences, behavioural sciences or other health professional education (this may include Open University course, or HE access for example); evidence of work experience in a podiatry setting, either in the NHS or private sector.
