Take your first step into the dynamic and versatile career of podiatry by studying with South Australia’s No.1 university for graduate careers in health.1
Healthy feet are an important part of the body’s holistic health, and many of us at some point in our lives will experience foot problems. With the ability to assess, diagnose, and manage any disorders of the foot, ankle and lower limb, podiatrists can work across an enormous variety of healthcare settings.
UniSA’s Bachelor of Podiatry, the only degree of its kind in South Australia, will have you graduate ready to be accredited with the Podiatry Board of Australia. You will learn practical skills and develop an understanding of the full scope of a podiatrist’s role under the guidance of expert registered practitioners. You’ll also get the opportunity to put these skills into practice within a vast range of industry organisations across metropolitan and regional placements.
Get the additional leg-up on your unstoppable career in podiatry with an Bachelor of Podiatry (Honours) degree, available for high-achieving students in their third year of study.
You can also take your unstoppable career further with postgraduate studies in Master of Health Services Management to step up into leadership and management positions across the diverse health and ageing sectors, or doctoral studies to pursue your own project.
