Welcome to Paramedic Science BSc (Hons) at Birmingham Newman University.

Jane & Karen and the wider team are excited to welcome our 2025 students to study on the Paramedic Science Course. We hope that you are looking forward to beginning this new chapter in your lives and that you will quickly feel at home here at Birmingham Newman University.

As a paramedic student you will be part of the wider team (School of Nursing and Allied Health – SoNAH).

During the first week here you will be introduced to some of the other teaching team members as well as the paramedic staff.

We will be explaining how things work in introductory week before we start the modules the following week, so don’t worry if you have lots of questions – we will do our best to answer them as we go through that week.

For now we have included some information that may be helpful as you are preparing to start your course.
