Bachelor of Podiatry
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationHealthy feet are an important part of the body’s holistic health, and many of us at some point in our lives will experience foot problems.
Practicing podiatrists can be found working in an enormous variety of dynamic work environments, including treating sports-related injuries, with children, within aged care, and playing a key part in interprofessional health teams managing high-risk diseases and disabilities that can impact the entire body, such as diabetes.
The Bachelor of Podiatry will have you graduate ready to be accredited with the Podiatry Board of Australia. You will learn practical skills and develop an understanding of the full scope of a podiatrist’s role under the guidance of expert registered practicing podiatrists.
You’ll also get the opportunity to put these skills into practice within a vast range of industry organisations across metropolitan and regional placements, giving you first-hand experience into your future career while studying.
