    Course Summary

    Queen Margaret University’s BSc program in Therapeutic Radiography is just what you need to prepare yourself for an exciting and deeply rewarding career. Therapeutic radiography is the controlled release of small amounts of radiation as a treatment or a management technique, primarily for cancer patients.

    You’ll learn about planning and delivering radiation treatments to be sure, but you’ll also gain a solid background in the science and theory behind the discipline. You’ll study both in the clinical and academic contexts. As a result, you’ll gain all of the skills you’ll need to work as a Therapeutic Radiographer, either privately or with the NHS.

    Every year will feature working placements in addition to taught modules, each with a different focus. This will make sure that you graduate with a strong sense of what a Therapeutic Radiographer does as well as the kind of practical, real world skills which will enhance your employability dramatically.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
