BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography
Course Overview
The BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography course is a four-year undergraduate program that includes both academic and practical training. The first two years of the course will provide students with a strong foundation in the sciences, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and medical imaging technologies. In the third and fourth years of the course, students will spend a significant amount of time in clinical practice, gaining hands-on experience working alongside experienced radiographers.
During the course, students will learn how to take images of the body using a variety of imaging modalities, interpret the images produced, and work with patients to explain the procedures and results. They will also learn how to work safely with radiation and how to minimize the risks associated with imaging procedures.
