About Podiatry Bsc (hons) in Ulster University

Podiatry is a science based healthcare profession that places emphasis on the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of foot health. The responsibilities of the professional podiatrist are to detect and diagnose problems concerning the feet, and to implement an effective management strategy. Students are trained to appreciate all aspects of health and disease and to work alongside other healthcare professionals to provide the most appropriate care for their patients. Extensive practical experience equips graduates with the knowledge and skills essential for clinical practice.
The Podiatry programme is delivered within an environment where students are regarded as adult learners, potential employees and developing practitioners. A supportive and encouraging environment facilitates students in meeting the challenges of the course with confidence and security. Within both the academic and practice placement modules, students are viewed as potential future colleagues with a culture of multi-professional respect emphasised early on that is interwoven throughout the programme.

Podiatry is a profession of subspecialties: sports medicine, paediatrics, rheumatology, musculo-skeletal, diabetes, general practice, dermatology, medico legal and podiatric surgery all offer potential avenues for employment and extended scope of practice. This degree programme seeks to increase student awareness of these roles and the broad base of training prepares graduates for entry level into any of these sub specialties of Podiatry.

In addition, Ulster University is the first programme across the UK and Ireland that embeds injectible cortisone therapy into the undergraduate curriculum.
