It provides strong post-course employability as a Newly Qualified Paramedic (NQP). The course provides a wealth of practice placement opportunities in both ambulance and non-ambulance settings. This pre-registration course enables you to commence study at Masters level, the first of its kind within the North of England to offer this paramedic course Masters level students are expected to engage with more complex concepts, beyond that of a Bachelor's degree, and learners are required to be complete practitioners, capable of leading change and improving the service quality.
