Upon completion of this degree, you should have the skills to produce the highest quality images while providing patients with excellent care, enabling you to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Diagnostic Radiographer: a requirement for practice in the UK.

We have an excellent working relationship with our numerous clinical training sites who offer an excellent overall student experience and contribute to the development of well-rounded newly qualified Diagnostic Radiographers, ready to take on the exciting challenge of the first post of their DR career.

Role and responsibilities

Diagnostic radiographers use sophisticated equipment to produce high-quality images of the human body in order to identify and diagnose injury and disease. From X-rays and CT scanners through to using radionuclide imaging, there is a wide range of imaging technologies available for diagnostic radiographers to use.

Diagnostic radiographers need to be able to use highly technical, computerized equipment and require strong levels of attention to detail and good interpersonal skills.

There are options available for specialisation, such as trauma/accident and emergency, or medical ultrasound. This can be one route for career development, however, there are opportunities to advance into senior practitioner roles, or into management regardless.

this course provides an all-encompassing experience that enables you to put theory into practice.
