Overview

The MSc in Medical Imaging has been developed to offer advanced education in a range of clinical specialities within the diagnostic radiography profession.

These include, but are not limited to:

Projection radiography

Mammography

Interventional Radiography (IR)

Computed Tomography (CT)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

The programme of study will enable you to apply up-to-date technical knowledge, research, scientific, and professional know-how, in line with expectations of the College of Radiographers (CoR) 'Education and Career Framework for the Radiography Profession'.

The programme is aimed at supporting radiographers to:

enhance their knowledge and skills in their specialist area of imaging

critically evaluate current research and implement best practice

reflect on current clinical practices

evaluate, inform and enhance service delivery and patient outcomes

develop skills in critical thinking

develop and enhance skills in leadership, management of people, service evaluation and change

The programme of study is organised on a part-time basis and is dependent on the modules studied at Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and Final Stage Dissertation.

Modules are delivered by academics with expertise in specialist imaging, clinical specialists, and physicists, with opportunities to learn with and from peers and build networks.

The MSc Medical Imaging programme is completed with a dissertation which will develop your ability to analyse contemporary issues in your area of imaging expertise through collection, processing and analysis of data by way of primary research, or systematic review or service evaluation projects. Additionally, students are supported to disseminate their findings to the radiography profession and wider healthcare audience.

If you have already gained a Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma in an area of Radiography at another UK university and want to build on that to complete your Master's in Medical Imaging at The University of Bradford, please contact us regarding applying for Recognition of Prior Learning. Students will be able to obtain credits for short episodes of study, undertake a single module, or combine studying a choice of modules over time, should they not wish to undertake the full MSc Medical Imaging programme.
