Course content

On this two-year programme, you will learn all of the academic knowledge required to work in the field of sonography. Throughout, you will receive comprehensive hands-on training in our skills hub, which is equipped with the latest imaging workstations and houses one of the largest MedaPhor ultrasound simulation labs in the world.

This programme gives you exposure to the full range of sonography in clinical areas such as obstetrics, gynaecology, general medical (abdominal and small parts), vascular, breast and musculoskeletal ultrasound training. Approximately 75% of your studies will be practical, so you will develop the work-based skills required to step into employment after graduation. The module delivery will be an online ‘blended’ learning approach and most modules will have an element of live virtual tutorial sessions.
