Key sectors for graduate recruitment are the Health Service, in either NHS facilities or for commercial companies contracted to the NHS for prosthetic/orthotic services.

Graduates of the BSc (Honours) in Prosthetics & Orthotics at Strathclyde are eligible to apply for registration as a Prosthetist/Orthotist through the Health and Care Professions Council. Our graduates can also become members of the British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists.

Graduates will also achieve Category 1 status certification from the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics, which is the highest recognised accreditation in this field.
