    institution

    St George’s University London

    St George’s University London began in 1733 with the opening of St George’s Hospital. Though doctors had students even then, a formal registry of pupils was only initiated in 1752. In 1756 John Hunter, ‘the Father of Modern Surgery’, began to teach students there, followed by luminaries like Edward Jenner and Edward Wilson. The university […]

    Course Summary

    A BSc in Diagnostic Radiography from St George’s University London is a great way to begin a career as a radiographer. You’ll learn to use X-Ray, MRI, CT and Ultrasound equipment to image the internal structure of your patients’ bodies. This allows diseases and health problems to be detected, diagnosed and monitored in a minimally invasive manner.

    This degree program is delivered in partnership with Kingston University, and gives you the benefit of a multi-faculty learning experience as well as St George’s unquestioned expertise.

    You’ll begin by learning the science behind radiography as well as the practical and theoretical aspects of the discipline in classrooms and laboratories. In the end, though, you’ll spend a full 50% of your time in placements with NHS trusts as a student radiographer. This will ensure that you have the working skills and patient-facing experience you need to practice in this field at a professional level.

    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.

    Course Outline

    Year 1

    Your first year is exclusively university based. You’ll take many of the same classes as medical, biomedical science and radiology students and learn important team building skills.

    Taught Modules:

    • Inter-professional Foundation Programme
    • Introduction to Radiography
    • Science and Technology 1
    • Personal and Professional Development 1
    • Skeletal and Visceral Imaging 1

    Year 2

    Beginning with year 2, you’ll be able to apply the knowledge you’ve gained in a real world setting. This will be a great opportunity to gain the kind of patient-facing clinical skills upon which your career will depend

    Taught Modules:

    • Science & Technology 2
    • Personal & Professional Development 2
    • Skeletal and Visceral Imaging 2

    Practice Placements:

    • Introduction to Practice
    • Application of Skills

    Year 3

    In addition to taught modules and a more responsible practical placement, you’ll undertake a comprehensive research project in year 3.

    Taught Modules:

    • Research Project
    • Integrated Radiography
    • Personal & Professional Development 3

    Clinical Placement:

    • Competence and Practice

    Learning & Teaching

    Most of the academic content of this course is delivered at Kingston University rather than St George’s. There you’ll learn by attending lectures, by making in-depth case studies, by conducting group and individual project work and in simulated clinical settings. In time, though, you’ll move on to incorporate more and more practice placement time at a variety of NHS Trusts throughout London and the South. This will typically include St George’s teaching hospital, among others.

    Career Possiblities

    Some diagnostic radiography graduates go on to take a higher level degree at St George’s or elsewhere, whist others take roles in mammography, reporting, nuclear medicine imaging, quality assurance, magnetic resonance imaging, CT scanning, teaching or research. Some find places in accident and emergency or trauma roles. Others students find success as managers of radiographic or interdisciplinary medical teams. In time, many radiography graduates eventually specialise as Consultant Practitioners or Interventional Radiographers. 

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 3 year BSc degree.

    Applicants must typically have achieved 3 A Levels at BBB or higher, which should include at least one Science but may not include General Studies or Key Skills. Other accepted qualifications can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English. This can be demonstrated with an IELTS score of 7.0 overall, 7.0 in Writing and Speaking, and no less than 6.5 in any other module.
