Course content

Are you enthusiastic about science and technology? Are you looking for a diverse, challenging and rewarding career working with people? Diagnostic radiography could be the profession for you.

Diagnostic radiographers play a crucial role in healthcare, with the Society of Radiographers (2021) estimating that 90% of inpatients will interact with a diagnostic radiographer during their NHS treatment pathway. This accelerated two-year, full time master’s degree programme is aimed at current graduates and designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills and practical experience to provide safe, high-quality care to patients requiring imaging.

Diagnostic radiographers produce high quality images to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of injury, illness and disease. They employ a range of equipment across a variety of healthcare settings, including:

• Projection radiography (X-ray) in outpatients, inpatients and the Emergency Department (ED)
• Dental radiography
• Mobile radiography
• Computed Tomography (CT)
• Fluoroscopy, which includes imaging during interventional procedures and in the operating theatre
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Ultrasound
• Mammography (breast imaging)
