This four-year undergraduate Master of Radiography: Diagnostic (MDRad)/BSc (Hons) Radiography: Diagnostic course will give you the theoretical understanding and practical skills you will need to build a rewarding career as a Diagnostic Radiographer. Practice placements are an integrated part of the course and allow students to put their theoretical knowledge into practice.QMU offers two undergraduate pathways of study in
Diagnostic Radiographyto achieve a recognised qualification. Initially all students register on the undergraduate master’s pathway and study together, then, from the end of the second year, students on the BSc (Hons) pathway follow a slightly different programme of study to those studying for the undergraduate master’s degree. On graduation, both pathways offer eligibility to apply for registration with the HCPC as a diagnostic radiographer.

Professional accreditation/registration: This course is accredited by the Society and College of Radiographers and approved by the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). Successful completion enables application for registration with the HCPC as a diagnostic radiographer which is essential for employment in the UK.
The course in brief:Diagnostic Radiographers are healthcare professionals who acquire and evaluate images of the human body to diagnose disease and trauma. They use a range of high-technology imaging equipment and techniques and work closely with the multidisciplinary team to provide a person-centred service.Radiography is invaluable in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and trauma. As a Diagnostic Radiographer your skill, judgement and professionalism will be a vital part of a team’s clinical work, and affect patients’ lives, day after day. Awaiting a diagnosis can be a stressful time for patients and in this career you must be technically adept, an excellent communicator and provide person-centred care. This is why our diagnostic radiography course places high importance on clinical placements. Placements are essential to build self-confidence, practice radiographic techniques and develop clinical knowledge in a real-life hospital setting.
