Dietetics , Physiotherapy , Podiatry and Radiography
Alongside our Advancing Practice in Health Framework ( see page 36 ), we offer other healthcare courses that can enable you to progress in your particular field . Additionally our pre-registration courses enable you to change career in only two years .
The Division of Dietetics , Nutrition , Biological Sciences , Physiotherapy , Podiatry and Radiography ( DNPPR ) has extensive knowledge and skills in allied health professional education as well as in public health , community and voluntary sectors .
Our proximity to Edinburgh city centre positions us close to many of the leading players in both national and local government , as well as many large hospitals , companies , research laboratories and government offices . The links to our hospital , private practice and third sector partners across Scotland are essential to ensure that our students have access to the high-quality placement experiences that are at the core of their training with us .
Many of our courses reflect the fact that QMU is a major player in postgraduate education and staff have very close links with the professions across Scotland , for example , opportunities to work in Scotland ’ s cancer centres , or to work with students from another Scottish university or one elsewhere in the UK .
