BSc (Hons) Podiatry
Eager to step into podiatry? If you’re keen to make a genuine difference to people’s health and well-being, apply for our BSc (Hons) Podiatry degree through Clearing today.
You’ll gain practical experience in our podiatry clinic and Human Performance Lab, working with specialist technology and real patients.
Learning from internationally renowned podiatrists, you’ll discover how to assess, diagnose, and treat foot and lower limb disorders, as well as developing patient care pathways for a variety of conditions.
Starting with the basics, you’ll study the practical skills needed to treat patients safely and effectively. As you progress, you’ll develop essential reflective, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.
Our podiatry degree takes a hands-on approach. You’ll begin your clinical practice at our in-house clinic within six weeks of starting your studies. From there, you’ll progress to working one day a week at an NHS clinic and longer placements in your final year, where you’ll apply your knowledge, hone your skills, and work with experienced practitioners.
Our staff collaborate with pharmaceutical companies and orthoses laboratories, so your learning stays connected to current evidence-based practice. Students can also take part in community and charitable work – including projects like the Urban Village Homeless Clinic – to support people who may struggle to access foot care.
What our podiatry students say about studying at Salford
“If you want a varied, flexible and interesting career with opportunities to improve the quality of life of your patients, to reduce their pain and promote their independence, then podiatry could well be the choice for you. I know it was for me.
The University of Salford has the biggest podiatry teaching school in Europe; the clinic on campus is incredible, and the industry links are unparalleled. All the tutors and clinicians have worked in the NHS or private practice, so they understand the profession and offer valuable advice.” - Jennifer, Podiatry graduate
