It might be worth seeing if there is a chat link to current paramedic students on the course webpages.

Hi @Tiger2016 at Bournemouth University we have a smaller cohort for Paramedic Science, around 30 - 40 students, so each student gets a good amount of time with staff. We have an ambulance suite on site which is used by students regularly on the course - you can check this our on our Virtual Tour here: https://virtualtour.bournemouth.ac.uk/health-social-care/guided/health-social-care_tour/ambulance-simulation-suite

Hi there,
Is there a reason for being concerned on class size?
Regardless of the size, there is no exclusion in the class. Every person is involved in activities. It is up to you/the student to get involved as much or as little as they wish in the classroom. In SIM, students are put into groups to complete activities.
Surrey University is the best uni for paramedic sciences. It is a very popular course. We have many open days coming up - please look on the website and come along for a visit where you can speak to the paramedic lecturer.

It's not a "concern". It was as a point of information building and gathering for me to make informed decisions on my choices - not everyone is able to attend open days especially the mature students as they have work commitments so we have to rely on information we can find else where and sometimes it is not easy to find so the best way can be to ask a question on a suitable platform.
