Paramedic Science Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

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. 

At Swansea University, you’ll learn in outstanding, hands-on environments designed to help you build confidence from day one. Our excellent facilities include the Simulation and Immersive Learning Centre (SUSIM), featuring realistic clinical suites where you can develop practical skills in a safe, supervised setting. You will also benefit from immersive workplace experiences at the Welsh National Ambulance training centre.

Alongside face-to-face teaching, you will use innovative digital tools such as Learning Space for clinical simulations, giving you immediate video feedback to strengthen your learning. Virtual reality further supports your anatomy teaching, helping you understand organs and body systems in a highly interactive way.
