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. <br/><br/>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 in people’s lives. <br/><br/>As well as attending seminars and lectures, you’ll be taught by industry experts in our on-campus podiatry clinic; using specialist gait analysis equipment, and developing skills in our orthotics laboratory, you’ll gain hands-on experience to give you a unique insight into the world of foot health. <br/><br/>**Why Study Podiatry BSc(Hons) at University of Huddersfield?** <br/>Podiatry provides flexibility following your studies to work in various settings, including the NHS, private practice, and from your own clinic.
