We’re so excited; Podiatry is now offered as a hybrid model, so students can study from home while completing placements in their own towns/cities 👏 👣
We can’t wait to be signed up as a base clinic alongside Brooke Dalzell Podiatry from March 2026.
This course provides a career pathway for school leavers; people seeking a career
change; a podiatry assistant or allied health assistant seeking to upgrade their
qualification.
Students may choose to begin with the Undergraduate Certificate in Foot Health and
study part-time for one year to gain an understanding of Podiatry, without committing to
the full Bachelor of Podiatric Medicine.
Next intake round commencing March 2026. Please reach out if you want to know more!
