The answer

Answered by Neil Gray on 20 Dec 2024 · 11 days after it was lodged, on time

The BSc Paramedic Science course launched in 2020 with the first cohort of paramedic students graduating in 2023, and the most recent cohort graduating in September 2024. Data for the last five academic years is therefore not available as only two cohorts have completed the three-year degree programme. Data for the 2020 intake who graduated in 2023 is the only publicly available data at this time and this is outlined in the following table:HEINamed degreeNo. of graduates from Annual Year intake 2020Robert Gordon UniversityBSc Paramedic Practice56Glasgow Caledonian UniversityBSc Paramedic Science44University of StirlingBSc Paramedic Science36University of West of ScotlandBSc Paramedic Science40Queen Margaret UniversityBSc Paramedic Science46TOTAL 222
