bachelor of orthotics prosthetics

The Bachelor of Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) is a healthcare-related programme focused on the design, fabrication, and fitting of orthoses (braces) and prostheses (artificial limbs). This programme equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to assess patients, develop treatment plans, create custom devices, and provide ongoing care to individuals with physical disabilities or limb loss. The curriculum combines theoretical coursework in anatomy, biomechanics, materials science, and rehabilitation with extensive hands-on clinical experience. Students learn to use advanced technologies like CAD/CAM and 3D printing in the design and manufacturing processes. The goal of the programme is to prepare graduates to become certified orthotists and prosthetists who can significantly improve the quality of life for their patients by restoring function and mobility.
