Bachelor of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics

The Bachelor of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics (BSc P&O) is a four years undergraduate programme that prepares professionals to assess, design, fabricate, and fit prosthetic and orthotic devices for individuals with limb loss and musculoskeletal or neurological impairments. Prosthetics focuses on artificial limb replacement, while orthotics addresses the support, correction, and prevention of physical deformities using external devices. Together, these disciplines integrate anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, materials technology, and patient centered rehabilitation care to restore mobility, function, and independence The programme addresses the growing need for rehabilitation professionals in response to rising injuries, chronic diseases, congenital conditions, and age related mobility challenges. By emphasizing rehabilitation, inclusion, and functional independence, and by integrating modern technologies such as CAD/CAM and 3D printing, it supports national and global health priorities while improving the quality of life of people with physical disabilities. Through an integrated curriculum combining medical sciences, practical training, clinical experience, research, and entrepreneurship, the programme prepares graduates with essential clinical and professional equipped with skills to assess patients, design and fabricate appropriate devices, work ethically within multidisciplinary teams, communicate effectively, and deliver safe, high quality, patient centered prosthetic and orthotic care.
