Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Diagnostic Radiography (B821)

Diagnostic radiographers play a key role in medical teams by taking imaging to help diagnose and monitor illness or injuries and ensure patients receive the right treatment. It’s a rewarding career and there is high demand for qualified practitioners.

On Diagnostic Radiography degree students will develop the technical skills and knowledge needed to meet statutory requirements. They’ll practise their skills in the university’s Clinical Imaging Suite and have clinical placements in each year of their degree. At the end of the degree students will gain a professionally recognised qualification and have the caring skills needed for a successful career.

The Diagnostic Radiography degree course is delivered full-time over three years. Theoretical modules are delivered in blocks alongside clinical placements. Teaching at the university includes lectures, seminars, workshops, simulation and skills laboratory sessions.

The final dissertation provides stduents with the opportunity to undertake a project on a topic of their choice. Recognising that patients are at the heart of everything the NHS does, we have embedded the core values of the NHS Constitution — respect, dignity, compassion and collaboration — into our curriculum.
