Teaching, assessment and accreditation

Teaching, assessment and accreditation

A variety of teaching methods are used throughout the three years of the course, including lectures, seminars, peer-assisted learning, case-based learning, simulated practical experience and clinical experience. Our teaching facilities include a digital imaging suite. This facility is used throughout the course to support your learning and enhance your practical skills.

Clinical placements are an essential part of the radiography programme providing an opportunity to put theory into practice and consolidate learning experiences. Diagnostic radiographers work predominantly in hospital diagnostic imaging departments but also undertake imaging procedures within: operating theatres, accident and emergency departments, resuscitation rooms and many more locations.

Assessment   

Assessment involves a combination of academic coursework (including essays, reports and presentations), written and practical examinations, clinical assessments and research reports.

Accreditation

On graduation you will be eligible to be considered for registration with the Health Professions Council and membership of the Society of Radiographers.
