Diagnostic Radiography (Pre-registration) Master of Science - MSc (UG)

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. If you do not already have an undergraduate degree, you could apply for our three-year BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography course.

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) 

* Nuclear Medicine 

* Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)
