Overview
The primary aim of the course is to provide you with the knowledge base, transferable skills, linguistic skills and general competence to allow you to progress successfully onto the University of Malta 's undergraduate Health Science Podiatry course.
The course offers specific training and support in those core health science and English areas where you will require further assistance.
The Foundation Studies in Health Sciences (Podiatry) at the University of Malta will provide teaching in the subject areas of human biology, biological chemistry, human anatomy, psychology, and physics as well as Medical English and Maltese. In addition, you will be expected to attend regular tutorial sessions for each subject. Successful completion of this course may not guarantee you a place on the course of Podiatry as seats are limited.
Career opportunites and access to further studies
