Bachelor of Podiatry

Bachelor of Podiatry (Honours)

What is this course about?

Graduates of CSU's Bachelor of Podiatry find employment in the assessment, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disorders of the feet and lower limbs.

This is the only podiatry course offered by a regional university in Australia and was developed in response to the shortage of podiatrists in non-metropolitan areas of Australia.

Podiatry has a huge part to play in the health of Australia. Through screening of the feet of people with diabetes to risk prevention and providing foot care in a number of populations, podiatrists can delay and prevent hospitalisation for many patients. Podiatrists play an important role in the maintenance of mobility and general health and independence of many members of the community.

What will I learn?

The course has a strong emphasis on the clinical practices associated with podiatry and this is complemented with studies in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, diagnostic imaging, health promotion and the social sciences. Please note that this course involves the use of human cadaveric material.

This course includes practical experience through workplace learning.
