What you can study here
Wrexham University teaches 6 allied health professions at pre-registration level, training dietitians, occupational therapists, operating department practitioners, paramedics, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists. 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.
A typical offer is published for 4 of the 6 courses here and not for the 2 others, so those rows are left blank rather than filled in with a guess. Where an offer is published, treat it as the shape of the offer rather than a guarantee — these courses are interviewed, and they carry DBS and occupational health requirements on top of the grades. 4 courses carry a UCAS code, so they are applied for through the central system rather than direct to the university.
