Overview
A podiatrist is an allied healthcare professional who specialises in assessing and treating the lower limb and foot, preventing foot conditions from deteriorating, and enabling better health. Helping to keep the population mobile, podiatrists are always in demand. This degree covers everything from health rehabilitation to musculoskeletal care and anaesthesia, and it can be a great route into what can prove a fulfilling career choice, where you can make a difference to people's lives. This course is regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), too, and accredited by the Royal College of Podiatry. After successfully completing the course, you’ll be able to apply to register with the HCPC and work as a Registered Podiatrist. In the National Student Survey 2025, we’ve ranked 2nd in the UK (top in Yorkshire) for learning resources (Complementary and alternative medicine). Podiatry provides flexibility following your studies to work in various settings, including the NHS, private practice or even your own clinic. Alternatively, you may continue onto postgraduate study and enrol onto one of our Master’s courses – such as podiatric surgery. This gives you the qualification needed to potentially pursue a career as a foot surgeon.
