Entry requirements
A second class honours degree in any discipline. However, where the undergraduate degree is not science or engineering based, applicants should be able to be able to demonstrate research skills. This may have been achieved through completion of a research project as part of the undergraduate degree. Applicants will also be expected to demonstrate evidence of understanding of the scope of podiatric practice and understanding of the personal attributes of a podiatrist in their application personal statement. We appreciate that it can be difficult to get shadowing experience, so relevant experience that demonstrates transferable skills to those required by Podiatrists would be beneficial. International: You will be required to provide evidence of English language competence at no less than IELTS 7.0 and no individual component score below 6.5. Criminal Records Check: A satisfactory criminal records check will be required.
