Recognition of professional qualifications


As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.

Budgeting

You will need to budget at least £100 for the cost of photocopying, printing and binding. You will also need to budget for the cost of text books.

Residential week tuition is included in your course fees, however accommodation, food and travel costs are not included. Accommodation is not available on the University campus so we recommend you book accommodation in Bath city centre. You may also need to budget for accommodation whilst taking your clinical exams which are held on the University of Bath campus.

You may need to budget for a pre-hospital emergency care certificate if you do not currently have one. In conjunction with the Rugby Football Union, we run a one-day Pre-hospital Immediate Care in Sport (PHICIS) level 2 course on campus following the residential week in January which costs around £200.
