Paramedic Science, BSc (Hons)

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW), with the agreement of Welsh Government and the Welsh Ambulance Service University NHS Trust (WAST), has decided to pause the commissioning of university Paramedic Science programmes in Wales for the 2026–27 academic year. Paramedic Science, BSC (Hons) is therefore no longer open for applications and Swansea University has withdrawn offers for September 2026 entry. Studying for a BSc in Paramedic Science 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 how to administer life support. You will also develop an understanding of the role and relevance of research, concepts of patient care, and the legal and ethical principles relating to healthcare. You will study core themes 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.

This will be measured as an equivalent to level 7 of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), with no element below 6.5.
