  Our MSc in Medical Imaging provides a comprehensive grounding in Computed Tomography (CT) and / or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), equipping you to practice in a rapidly evolving field. Our range of modules encompass theory, clinical applications and how theory is applied to practice. One module will encompass evidence-based practice and enable you to undertake a research, audit, or service evaluation project.

  You can choose optional modules from our wider postgraduate portfolio, including leadership, clinical education, and research. These are co-taught with radiography learners from different programmes. Other modules (in Clinical Education, Management and Leadership and Research) are taught to multi-professional cohorts enabling you to benefit from elements of interprofessional learning.

• Learning and teaching

  Your learning is through lectures, tutorials and seminars. We are strongly committed to offering high levels of student support. You will have a Personal Tutor at the University who will offer both personal and academic support.

  Research-led teaching

  We believe every student benefits from being part of a research-led culture and being taught by experts – you will discuss the very latest ideas in seminars and tutorials and become actively involved in research yourself. Research plays an important part in developing patient care and radiography as a whole for the future. You will be taught by staff who are at the cutting edge of their research areas which ensures you receive the most up-to-date knowledge.
