Training to be a Podiatrist

There are 13 schools across the country that offer full-time and some offering part-time bachelor of science honours degrees in Podiatry. The full-time course takes three or four years to complete depending on where you choose to study. The part-time course is usually completed over four and a half years. The structure of the course which leads to the award of a BSc(Hons) Podiatry varies across the 13 institutions. All, however, offer modular programmes.

Modular Programme: this means you are required to study and pass the assessment for each of the small sections (modules) of the course. All of the courses involve hands on clinical experience and all cover the required areas of local anaesthesia and pharmacology. All of the courses also offer work experience in the form of placements. This may be in NHS or private practice. The amount of placement experience you will gain varies from course to course.
