BSc Podiatry Conversion, BSc Radiography Conversion, BSc Occupational Therapy Conversion, BSc Physiotherapy Conversion

These courses are for podiatrists, diagnostic/therapeutic radiographers, occupational therapists or physiotherapists who are looking to further develop their diploma qualification into a degree.

A number of years ago, a degree qualification in both the UK and internationally was not available in these subject areas and it was only possible to study to diploma level. Today however, universities in the UK are now providing a higher level of study and all recent graduates will have a degree.

There are a number of people working across the globe as podiatrists, diagnostic/therapeutic radiographers, occupational therapists or physiotherapists who would like to take the opportunity to convert their existing qualification into a degree and these courses allow you to do that in only 16 months.

To attain a BSc degree you must study three modules. These courses are offered entirely by distance learning which means they are both accessible and flexible for UK and international students who are currently working, as no attendance is required at QMU. To undertake these courses, you must be able to access to the internet.

In Year One, you will study research methods and appraising literature, which will help you to be able to read and evaluate current research in your field. You will also learn how to carry out your own research projects in the future.

In Year Two, you will build on the work carried out in the previous two modules and you will move on to consider example of evidence based practice. This will allow you to develop your skills and evaluate techniques and treatments available to you, while thinking about resourcing.

You can also study individual modules for your own Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Structure:
You can opt to study for a degree or study single modules for your own Continual Professional Development. The CPD option allows you to study individual modules on a more flexible basis
