This innovative course, developed in partnership with the East of England Ambulance Service, will develop your clinical knowledge and confidence in simulated situations. Spend around 50% of your time in supervised, supported practice, enabling you to experience the full 24-hour working pattern. Your final year research project will enable you to progress to employment as a professional paramedic with a strong research base and potential for professional development. The course is recognised by the Health and Care Professions Council and leads to eligibility to register, on completion, as a registered paramedic.

Through the basic knowledge gained whilst studying at the University of Bedfordshire you will be prepared to move on to more advanced topics and education within your career development. The roles being developed are around critical care and supporting the sickest patients to ensure they get to the best hospital to support their ongoing care. This requires further assessment and clinical skills e.g. ultrasound. Through being a paramedic you are continually learning. The BSc course is designed to keep your interest in learning and development, provide you, both with the desire to further develop and to provide the best care at all times to your patients.
