About the course

Our exciting MSc Paramedic Science (pre-registration) degree is for graduates with a degree in a relevant health or scientific field wishing to extend their knowledge, skills and clinical expertise to become a paramedic. Paramedics are highly skilled healthcare practitioners, providing urgent or emergency care in a wide range of pre-hospital and out-of-hospital environments. The course encourages the study of medical, behavioural and sociological sciences, enabling you to understand the holistic aspects of patient care.
