Overview

At La Trobe's Bachelor of Podiatry (Honours), you'll complete a cutting-edge degree studying human anatomy, physiology, medical conditions, pharmacology, and sport medicine.

You'll learn to perform minor surgical procedures, manage complex foot and ankle conditions, and explore specialised podiatry equipment such as grinders, vacuum presses and 3D laser scanners to manufacture foot orthoses, and dopplers to assess blood flow.

Learn from experienced podiatrists, researchers and teachers in sport medicine, biomechanics, hospital-based podiatry, paediatrics and foot surgery and practice these skills by treating real patients in our on-campus podiatry clinic. In your final year you'll complete either a research or industry-based project.
