This is a full-time three year vocational degree where Radiography students will learn a wide range of subjects to enable graduates to be safe and confident practitioners, able to deliver high quality care to patients. Students will learn human anatomy, physiology and pathology, using radiographic images, along with an understanding of the equipment used to image patients. During their training students will develop excellent communication skills and learn to work in a team environment putting the needs of the patient at the centre of everything they do.
