Course Overview

The course provides the physical, technological, biological and social knowledge required to work within a healthcare team and gain the professional skills and accreditation to practice as a radiographer.

Objectives

The BSc (Hons) Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging) degree will provide you with the skills and knowledge to help diagnose and treat illness by producing and interpreting medical images. Diagnostic radiographers are essential members of the healthcare team, working closely with doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals in a wide range of clinical settings. They use a range of imaging modalities to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of illness. These include conventional radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and positron emission tomography.

The radiography department at City, University of London was founded following the merger of five of London's top radiography schools. As part of the course, you will learn through classroom teaching, simulated practice and clinical placements. The city has one of the best-equipped radiography clinical skills suites in the UK, offering a unique environment that mirrors many of the facilities you will encounter whilst undertaking your practice placements in the clinical environment.

You will be taught by academics who are experts within the field and many of whom are active clinicians and researchers. Our curriculum concentrates on evidence-based teaching and is directly influenced by the research happening within the department which is informing radiography policy and practice. We have long-standing and close links with radiology departments in hospitals, the radiography profession, and the industry; all of this offers a challenging yet supportive environment in which to study.
