Paramedic Science for Emergency Medical Technicians, BSc (Hons)

To apply for this course you must be a serving member of the Welsh Ambulance Service Trust, working as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and meet the entry requirements outlined below.** This degree will give you the essential skills, knowledge, and attributes to begin an exciting and rewarding career as a Registered Paramedic. You will learn about anatomy and physiology, the major body systems and the conditions that affect them, how to assess patients and identify life-threatening conditions, and administer life support. You will also develop an understanding of the role and relevance of research, concepts of patient care, and legal and ethical principles relating to healthcare.

You will study core areas such as the physical, life and clinical sciences, social and behavioural sciences, ethics and law, equality and diversity, public health, patient assessment and management, leadership, and evidence‑based practice. These topics are woven through both classroom learning and practical placements, helping you connect theory directly to real‑world patient care. By the time you graduate, you will be ready to deliver safe, effective, person‑centred care across a range of settings; work inclusively with patients, families and healthcare teams; apply evidence to improve care; and continue developing as a reflective practitioner throughout your career.

If you are a Welsh speaker, you may be able to complete your placements and assessments in Welsh.
