Laurea triennale in scienze paramediche (con lode)

From novice to fully-fledged paramedic, our course provides you with the knowledge you need to practise safely and effectively. The curriculum is designed to provide you with the behaviours, clinical experience and values you need for success.

Your learning falls under 5 themes:

• bioscience basis for paramedic practice
• evidence-based practice skills and attributes
• patient assessment and management development
• clinical practice experience and development
• paramedic practice skills and attributes.

You'll learn to assess and manage the patients paramedics encounter, with simulation on campus and at least 14 weeks each year in real clinical settings. This could be within the ambulance service, emergency departments or primary care. You can experience placements in end-of-life care, airway management, or paediatric settings to aid your development.

The curriculum is updated to help graduates more effectively support society. For example, we’ve added a module on mental health to address the growing need for health professionals to understand this area when treating patients.

Your employability is a top priority for us. As you prepare to graduate, we’ll invite you to a careers fair where you’ll meet employers who will explain different career paths and spend time answering your questions. We’ll also provide support with writing applications and interviewing.

Paramedics work in a variety of healthcare settings with pathways such as: 

• clinical practice
• research
• education 
• management.

There are career opportunities at the specialist, advanced and consultant levels in paramedic practice. Opportunities are available in NHS Ambulance Trusts, where many of our graduates work but you might also find work in other NHS/alternative organisations.

Perhaps you’ll specialise in an area like critical care or forensic medicine. Maybe you’ll work with colleagues in general practice. There are even more niche opportunities like working on cruise ships or oil rigs, which appeal to graduates who want to have an international career.
