Radiography: Diagnostic Radiography BSc(Hons)

Why choose this course?

If you are interested in the application of science and technology in a caring environment, this degree, awarded by the University of London, is ideal. Using sophisticated equipment to produce high-quality clinical images of the internal structure and workings of the human body, you will learn to detect and monitor disease processes and the effects of trauma.

What will you study?

Your studies will be split approximately 50:50 between academic study and clinical practice placements. The course covers the core themes of biological sciences, physical sciences and radiographic science and practice, together with specialist modules relevant to diagnostic radiography (eg skeletal and visceral imaging). Clinical education is provided in both teaching hospitals and district general hospitals, with additional placements at specialist sites.

Please note that this is an indicative list of modules and is not intended as a definitive list. Those listed here may also be a mixture of core and optional modules.
