Diagnostic Radiography, BSc (Hons)

As a diagnostic radiographer, you play a vital role in healthcare by using imaging techniques like conventional radiography, CT, MRI, radionuclide imaging, and ultrasound to support diagnoses, treatments, and therapies. You will interact with patients to capture and evaluate images of abnormalities and injuries, while building expertise in anatomy, physiology, medical physics, and radiographic technology. The course features practice-based learning through simulations and clinical placements in diverse settings, fostering collaboration in multidisciplinary teams. Modules are studied sequentially, with five weeks of learning followed by one week of assessment, leading to qualifications recognised by the HCPC and SoR for global career opportunities. Financial support, including government payments up to £5,000 annually, is available for home students with childcare costs.This programme develops your professional identity from the start, emphasising advanced technology, communication skills, and patient-centred care. You’ll access specialised facilities, undertake an elective placement, and enhance digital fluency, critical thinking, and cultural competence through interactive scenarios and international activities. Supported by success coaches and in partnership with NHS Trusts, the course prepares you for a rewarding career with lifelong learning potential.
