Prosthetics and Orthotics Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Prosthetists provide artificial limbs to assist people who have part of or a whole a limb missing. Orthotists provide braces and splints to support, correct, or aid the function of people with various conditions of the neurological, muscular and skeletal systems.

On this course, you will learn how to assess and treat people requiring prosthetic and orthotic care. Prosthetists and Orthotists are highly skilled in biomechanics, human movement and gait analysis. The strong practical elements of this course will be taught in conjunction with relevant theory and background information.

We offer the only full-time BSc (Hons) 3-year degree programme in the UK. Our course is accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), enabling graduates to apply for dual registration as prosthetists and orthotists with the HCPC. This qualification not only permits employment in the UK but also overseas.
