Course overview

Diagnostic radiographers are responsible for the acquisition of high quality clinical images used to detect, monitor and manage disease processes and the effects of trauma. They utilise a wide range of sophisticated technological equipment for different imaging modalities, such as X-ray, ultrasound and CT and MRI scanning, and combine this expertise with high standards of patient care. This course is designed for people who want to combine a science background with medical, biological and physiological sciences and apply their training in a caring clinical environment.

If you are shortlisted by SGUL you will be invited to an interview. This will normally be 15 minutes long in front of a panel of two (usually an academic and a clinician). You should ideally have work experience in a medical or health-related field and be able to demonstrate a broad awareness and understanding of the scope of the role of the radiographer and the radiography profession.

This course is based at St George’s, Kingston University and on clinical placement. The course is offered by the joint Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences, a partnership between St George’s and Kingston University. Visit Kingston’s School of Radiography pages.
