Bachelor of Science in Paramedic Studies (Practitioner Entry)

The University of Limerick (UL) BS Paramedic Studies (Practitioner) course is open to experienced paramedics/advanced paramedics who can demonstrate current paramedic practice.

Why study Paramedic Studies at UL?

As the first university in Ireland to currently offer Paramedic Studies at undergraduate degree level, our innovative campus with state-of-the-art high fidelity simulation, offers unequalled opportunities for the developing paramedic student.

This innovative and interactive course builds upon prior learning and clinical experience and is delivered using a blended approach of face-to-face teaching and online resources.

This allows students to learn new knowledge and skills, and to network with colleagues from a variety of backgrounds.

Each semester, students are required to attend one week on-campus at the University of Limerick, with the remainder of the course delivered online. Students can access the online course content 24 hours a day.

Educational methodology

Recognition of prior learning is a foundation stone of adult education. We hope to build on your practical experience and integrate this knowledge with the most up-to-date e-learning resources. Students can work off site and can access course content 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world provided an internet connection is available (>2MB required). Consolidation weeks then allow the students to assimilate new knowledge and skills and network with colleagues from a wide variety of backgrounds.
