Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Diagnostic Radiography

Students will be introduced to the foundation elements of diagnostic radiography through a range of theoretical and professional practice modules. The professional practice component is designed to help enable students to develop the clinical skills required to conduct a range of diagnostic imaging tests and provide excellent person-centred care. In year two, students will explore the importance of evidence-informed practice in diagnostic radiography and build on their understanding of the radiographer’s role in various imaging areas and person-centred care. The content aims to further develops students' theoretical understanding and practical application of diagnostic radiography practice. In the third year students will examine the different pathways, advances and developments in radiography and have the opportunity to conduct a research project in an area of radiography of interest to them. In addition, students can study leadership and management in a diagnostic radiography context and undertake professional practice-based learning experience to move towards becoming an autonomous practitioner. This course is taught utilising a variety of methods including the use of simulation, role play, and service user input. Students will have a mixture of lectures, workshops and practical sessions and a problem-based learning approach is taken to enhance their understanding. Throughout the course students will have the opportunity to participate in interprofessional events with other healthcare students.
