What you can study here
University of Surrey teaches 2 allied health professions at pre-registration level, training dietitians and paramedics. Every course listed on this page is approved by its regulator, which is what makes it count: finishing an approved course is what entitles you to apply for registration, and registration is what lets you hold the protected title and be appointed to the job.
The provision here is undergraduate, which is the standard route in from school or college. Expect a mix of taught university blocks and supervised clinical placement, with the placement weeks scheduled around the academic year rather than in the holidays. Course lengths here range from 3 years to 4 years.
A typical offer is published for every course here. Treat it as the shape of the offer rather than a guarantee: allied health courses are almost always interviewed, most require a satisfactory enhanced DBS or equivalent check and occupational health clearance, and a strong application usually needs relevant care or observation experience alongside the grades. 2 courses carry a UCAS code, so they are applied for through the central system rather than direct to the university.
