BSc (Hons) Podiatry Bachelor's degree at East London

The aim of this module is to provide learners with the opportunity to demonstrate pre-requisite knowledge and skills in the basics of Chemistry and Biology through engagement in a-year-long subject specific learning activities. The emphasis of this module is on developing practical skills and abilities needed for Bioscience and problem solving as the pedagogy to support students in demonstrating pre-requisite knowledge and skills required to progress to courses across Biosciences. This module wi

This module will prepare students for academic study, by focussing on personal, professional and academic development. This module takes a reflective approach allowing for recognition of existing skills and development of those needed at Higher Education. While in essence, a skills development curriculum will lead to deep understanding of the expectations of higher-level academic study, the ability to meet those expectations with support from professional services and the instigation of skills h

This module provides an immersive introduction to health and wellbeing through active, practice-based learning. Students will develop their understanding of common health conditions by engaging directly with clinical skills, simulation and case-based scenarios. Rather than learning about healthcare from a distance, learners experience it in action. Through the exploration of key health areas such as diabetes, smoking-related disease and obesity, students integrate theory with practical applicati

The module aims to develop your life and professional skills, enhance your employment prospects and progression in line with careers associated with your course of study. You will actively seek and engage with various digital platforms (e.g., Career Zone, LinkedIn Learning), University services that will offer you opportunities, to explore, evaluate, learn and participate in activities that enhance your professional skills and reflect on how to plan your career. Academic staff in the various deg

This module introduces you to the lived reality of caring practice. Through the experiences of patients, families, and professionals, you will explore what it means to care for people in situations of vulnerability and begin developing yourself as a compassionate, reflective practitioner.
