Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: B821
Here's what Bristol, UWE says about its Diagnostic Radiography course.
BSc(Hons) Diagnostic Radiography is accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), so you can apply to register with them when you graduate.
The course is also approved by the College of Radiographers (COR) from March 2022 to March 2027.
You’ll learn in industry-standard facilities where you’ll observe and practise diagnostic procedures.
Get to grips with operating highly specialised equipment such as the Shaderware virtual reality x-ray laboratory. Study the science that underpins effective diagnosis.
Develop strong inter-professional and interpersonal skills.
The course has a strong practical focus, incorporating evidence-based learning, simulations and placements throughout. You’ll engage with patients, clinical radiographers and other healthcare professionals on placements, in class and online. UWE Bristol students have won prizes for presenting at the Society of Radiographers’ conferences, and others have published work in professional journals.
You’ll spend about half the course on clinical work placements in the NHS and private healthcare organisations. There’s also the chance to develop and apply your skills working abroad.
Diagnostic radiographers are in demand, with exciting career opportunities for graduates in the NHS and private radiography departments in the UK and worldwide. You can also develop a specialism by studying a master’s in a field such as ultrasound, nuclear medicine or radiotherapy.
