In your first year you’ll build on the science background from your undergraduate degree, learning everything a radiographer needs to know about the equipment you’ll be using, the types of patients you’ll work with, and what will be expected of you.

After successfully completing the program, you’ll be able to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Therapeutic Radiographer. The course is fully accredited by the College of Radiographers as well. It provides all of the qualifications you need to work in this fulfilling, technically advanced field. Alternatively, you can build a career in teaching, counselling patient information, treatment planning, quality assurance or management within this part of the healthcare industry.
