The BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography with Foundation Year provides a pathway into a rewarding career in healthcare, offering the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to people’s lives on a daily basis. Applicants who demonstrate strong potential through their application or performance may be considered even if standard entry criteria or offer conditions are not fully met. The programme benefits from access to high-quality university facilities and is delivered by an enthusiastic teaching team that uses innovative approaches to create an engaging and inspiring learning experience.

The foundation year leads directly into the BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography degree, which is accredited by the College of Radiographers and approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). On successful completion of the programme, graduates are eligible to apply for registration as a diagnostic radiographer with the HCPC, subject to meeting its requirements. The inclusion of a foundation year within the four-year programme provides a strong academic and professional head start, enabling the development of skills, knowledge and confidence with extensive support from experienced academic staff before progression to the first stage of the honours degree. This route is particularly beneficial for those considering a career change or wishing to strengthen their understanding of subjects that may be new.

Degrees with a foundation year are delivered as continuous programmes, meaning there is no requirement to reapply after successfully completing the initial year.
