Course summary

Podiatry involves assessing, diagnosing, and treating disorders of the foot and lower limb, many of which are linked to general health issues. You will develop comprehensive assessment and diagnostic skills to create patient care pathways that enhance quality of life. You will learn from internationally renowned academics and gain practical experience through NHS placements and our state-of-the-art clinical research facilities. Clinical practice starts within six weeks, initially in our on-campus clinic, and progresses to NHS clinics, with extended placements in your final year. The programme is accredited by the Royal College of Podiatry, reflecting the high standard of teaching. At the University of Salford, you will have access to a professionally equipped podiatry clinic and human movement laboratory, where you will regularly apply your learning. The course also has strong connections with NHS clinics across the North West of England, providing extensive opportunities to experience real-world conditions during your placements.
