BSc Diagnostic Radiography

This course will help to prepare you with the knowledge and skills that are needed to qualify and become registered diagnostic radiographers. Radiographers are important in the healthcare sector, and they create images of high quality using technology such as X-ray, CT, MRI, and Ultrasound to diagnose and monitor injuries and diseases.

The course involves a block and blend structure of learning that combines lectures and tutorials with much practical experience. Practice placement accounts for about 60% of the course in regional NHS partner hospitals. Assessment strategies employ various approaches, such as exams, case studies, research projects, and Practice Assessment Documents (PADs), which ensure that graduates are ready to deliver safe, quality patient care with the NHS values as a foundation.
