Hi
It's lovely to hear that you are considering coming to study here at Huddersfield!
I'm currently in my third year at University and my experiences of Huddersfield have been nothing but pleasant! The staff are always on hand to help or just have a chat, and Huddersfield itself has never failed to provide me with things to do. Although i'm not studying podiatry, some of my psychology lessons are taught in the same building as the medical facilitates, and it has always looked very impressive when i walk by!
If you're looking for more student perspectives about the University, we have a numerous blogs, written by current students, about their experiences of the University and the surrounding area, including accounts about their everyday uni life!

Hi soonli,
I am currently a first year podiatry student at the university of Huddersfield!
I am absolutely loving my course so far. When I was picking which university I wanted to go to, Huddersfield really stood out to me due to the on site clinic that has been run for years to the members of the public. During your time here you have lots of practice with treating real patients and honestly it’s the best thing ever as this prepares your immensely for your placement and practical exams.
Not only does this prepare you to the real world In the NHS, it is also brilliant with helping you with other modules on your course for example your podiatric Theory module, which you may get a chance to see most of the diseases and disorders you learn about in lectures! This really helps tie everything in you learn in lectures and put them into practice when treating real patients.
As for the lecturers, everyone is super friendly and helpful and I always feel like I can ask them anything without feeling stupid! Also in your first year during clinic, at first you may feel a bit daunted by it but lecturers provide 3rd year students called “buddies” which are available on clinic every time you treat patients to help you out with anything if you get stuck or you are not sure about something which is really helpful and puts you at ease!
As for the university as a whole, the facilities are brilliant, especially the student union which are always listening to students and keeping up to date with what they want.
Also if your into sports or have any hobbies, or even just have an interest In something, there is usually a society for it!
Not sure about student accommodation, as I am a commenter myself, but I have friends who live in Huddersfield student accommodation and seem to really like it.
Just to end, I think it’s really great you’ve chosen podiatry to study, as the world definitely needs more of us!
There are lots and lots of career options if you decided to further study such as, Msk specialist, wound care specialist, Podiatric Surgeon, forensic podiatrist (which personally I think is really cool), or even into research as there is a lot that still needs to be done! On the other hand, if Your not wanting to peruse the NHS career path, you could also look at private care work, or even work for yourself.
Good look with applying, make sure you visit all universities and look at there facilities and have a chat with lecturers as this confirmed it for me with Huddersfield.
Hopes this helps!

Hi @Quotings Unfortunately Tom's post was from a couple years ago and was in final year then so they will have graduated by now. We do have another ambassador called Tosin who studies podiatry, she is in her 2nd year, I have directed this to her and they will get back to you shortly.
What queries do you have about third year of this course?
Best wishes,
UoH

@Enmaxx123
Hello! I am just at the end of my degree studying podiatry at the University of Huddersfield so I will answer your questions.
The course is in demand as there is a nationwide shortage of podiatrists. This coupled with an ageing population and the rise in Type 2 diabetes means that podiatrists are highly employable!!!
If you check the NHS jobs website and look for 'podiatrist' and check the pay rate for Grade 5, you will be able to get an idea of the salary you can expect after you have qualified if you work for the NHS. Pay increases with your grade and it normally takes about 1-2 years to move to Grade 6. Podiatrists are paid higher if they work privately, which is another option available, with some working for others or setting up their own business where they are able to set their own prices.
Depending on your previous experience, you may find it easier than others on the course for e.g. if you have experience as a foot care assistant, or if you are coming straight from A’ levels then remembering information will be easier than if you have had a break in your studies.
It is a practical degree. The University of Huddersfield has a clinic onsite with plenty of opportunities to practice new skills on students and patients and is due to open a new building for podiatry this autumn. Assessments vary from exams to essays to presentations to practical exams and individual and group work. There are also placements where you get to spend a more intensive time on clinics or at hospitals. There is a lot of information to absorb, but the teaching at Huddersfield is exceptional with the university recently receiving TEF Gold for its teaching.
You cannot use doctor after completing an undergraduate podiatry degree in the UK. You would need to do a PhD to use the title, though in America this is different as podiatrists are medical doctors. In the UK, podiatrists are allied health professionals.
Podiatry is not well-known, people still use the term chiropody even though it's no longer the name used. It’s also not seen as being very glamourous as we deal with feet! Touching other people’s feet for a living can seem pretty gross to a lot of people! People also tend to think that podiatrists 'only cut toenails' but are unaware of the role podiatrists play in monitoring vascular and neurological changes, diabetes, managing sports injuries, nail surgery and gait.
You will hear negative comments, but only you can decide if a career in podiatry is for you. If you have not yet shadowed a podiatrist (spent a day or more with them, met some patients, got an idea of what a typical day might involve and had the chance ask questions) then I would recommend you do this prior to starting the course. Don't be afraid to reach out to podiatrists and to ask!
Do let me know if you have any more questions.
All the best,
Oluwatosin – 3rd year student – University of Huddersfield
