Description:

This programme is aimed at building on the foundations provided by pre-hospital emergency care programmes and professional experience. It is designed to develop skills and knowledge applicable to current practice and specialist areas assisting you in your professional development and life-long learning. Graduates of this programme will be in a position to compete for more specialised roles in the paramedical field. Competition for these places is high and having an NFQ Level 8 BSc [Hons] qualification will provide you with a strong foundation to compete in this evolving and dynamic field. Graduates of the programme will be eligible for Post Graduate programmes.

This programme considers the challenge of managing a job while studying, by delivering teaching using a blended learning approach of e-learning and participation in workshops. The idea is to support you as you learn in a university with state-of-the-art facilities and experienced staff. This innovative programme aims to widen your academic understanding of clinical care, to engage with and critique the research that drives professional practice. This programme does not lead to a PHECC (Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council) registrable qualification.
