Your career
Successfully completing this Paramedic Science programme from Glasgow Caledonian University will enable you to apply to Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) for registration as a paramedic. The majority of paramedics find employment within an ambulance service and there are increasing opportunities for graduates to work in a range of health and social care settings.
There is work available in private ambulance companies, offshore companies and other various NHS and private areas. However, the majority of newly qualified paramedics will look to consolidate their learning and experience in an ambulance service trust for one to two years before pursuing promotions or other career avenues.
There is a significant need across the whole of Scotland for paramedics and you are likely to be successful in gaining employment here if you wish, while other UK ambulance services are regularly recruiting from degree programmes.
All UK ambulance service trusts offer a form of Newly Qualified Paramedic programme to assist new paramedics transitioning from education into the fully registered role. Members of the Scottish Ambulance Service are invited to speak to third year students to discuss recruitment and support.
