Intro

The Diagnostic Radiography MSc degree prepares you to become a registered diagnostic radiographer in two years. You’ll study for a masters and meet statutory requirements to gain a professionally recognised qualification.

The degree is ideal for graduates with related first degrees who wish to gain both a professional and academic qualification and start a career in this highly rewarding field.

As a diagnostic radiographer you’ll play a key role in medical teams taking high-quality imaging to help diagnose and monitor illness or injuries to enable patients to receive the right treatment.

You’ll develop the required technical skills and knowledge, and the caring skills needed for a successful career, emphasising how statutory requirements are met. Around 50% of your course will be spent gaining experience on placement.

The teaching team includes experienced radiographers. You’ll also benefit from visiting lecturers from collaborating healthcare organisations.

The focus on interdisciplinary learning across all our health courses enriches your experience while also preparing you for the reality of professional practice.

Recognising that patients come first in everything the NHS does, and the values of the NHS constitution – respect, dignity, compassion and working together for service users – are embedded in our curriculum.

Careers

There is a growing demand for radiographers.

To practice as a radiographer you need to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) – successful completion of our Diagnostic Radiography BSc(Hons) means that you'll be eligible to apply for HCPC registration.

If you work for the NHS, you're likely to work in the radiology and imaging department providing a service for most departments within the hospital including accident and emergency, outpatients, operating theatres and wards. You may work in private clinics and hospitals.

As well working with other health professionals including healthcare scientists working in non-ionising imaging, you may supervise the work of radiography assistants or imaging support assistants.

You could choose to specialise in a particular type of imaging such as computerised tomography or sonography or working with a specific group of patients such as children or stroke patients.

You could also move into management of local radiology services.

Entry requirements

Typically an undergraduate degree of 2:2 or above. Candidates without a healthcare or science background may be considered with some evidence of having studied science, such as A-level biology, or with an appropriate level of recent practical experience in healthcare or science. Normally, applicants would be expected to provide recent evidence of formal study within the last five years. Observation experience in a radiography setting would be an advantage. If you have studied appropriate level 6 or masters-level modules at another recognised institution, you may wish to apply for recognition of prior learning (RPL) and transfer of these credits towards the course. Students wishing to apply for RPL should contact the course leader initially. The request will be considered in accordance General Examination and Assessment Regulations (GEAR) of the university.
