Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Podiatry (B985)

Patients who have problems with their feet or lower limbs need expert care and attention. Podiatrists are independent highly skilled professionals, able to both diagnose and treat problems affecting the feet and lower limbs.

GCU aims to develop creative, innovative and skilled podiatric practitioners with a communicative and caring attitude towards patients. Students will gain practical experience in the clinical environment, observing and working alongside skilled and experienced and world-renowned researchers.

This course is approved by the UK College of Podiatry and the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). It is the only podiatry course in the UK to offer an HCPC-approved international academic exchange. This is with La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia.

As well as working within the NHS, students could make a career in the private sector - from high street retailers to sports medicine centres or running their own business. GCU graduates have also gone on to pursue research activities, entered the world of health-related commerce or further developed their skills to become podiatric surgeons.
