The course equips the students with the knowledge and skills needed by radiographers to work in the health sector in two branches of radiography: diagnostic and therapy.
Graduates would be able to meet current and future needs of the workforce within hospitals and industry to support the development, introduction and implementation and evaluation of new technology, practice and advanced techniques in these fields.
The Course aims to produce graduate radiographers who:
recognise the importance of knowledge and understanding to their current and future professional practice
develop the skills necessary to perform their roles
integrate their learning effectively
develop their knowledge and understanding within an evidence based framework
recognise and exploit relationships between learning developed in university and practice based environments
transfer knowledge and understanding to situations encountered in practice.

Today's radiographer has a greatly expanded role and takes on many duties. Radiographers could be making decisions such as which examination to perform or advising on procedures - all areas of healthcare where a real difference to both patients and practitioners can be made.
Being in possession of a dual qualification with equal competencies and skills in the two branches, radiographers would be able to increase their employability and be able to provide high quality practice while creating better opportunities for career development.
Once registered, radiographers could work in the public or private sector, go into research or become a lecturer and train others in the profession. They could also choose to work abroad or undertake additional training to specialise in an area of radiography.
