Overview
Our BSc Diagnostic Radiography (with Foundation Year) is designed to provide a pathway through to our highly-rated, accredited Radiography degree - and a rewarding professional career. With a solid foundation in Biology, this course will provide you with the fundamental knowledge of healthcare provision, healthcare professional roles and clinical skills to enable you to be successful on the first year of our Diagnostic Radiography degree and beyond. Three quarters of the Foundation Year is common to a range of future healthcare professions, so it provides an ideal opportunity to learn about other roles and enables you to make informed decisions about your future career options. The course’s multi-professional nature breaks down interprofessional barriers and encourages an ethos of interprofessional collaboration when in practice. Within the module specific to Radiography, you will be introduced to the profession’s broad scope of practice, professional values and how it contributes to the delivery of high-quality patient-centred care. Following successful completion of the Foundation Year, you will move onto our Diagnostic Radiography degree. This vocational degree, developed and taught by the Leicester School of Radiography in collaboration with University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, is challenging and demanding but also incredibly rewarding – just like a career in radiography. Radiographers work with nurses, radiologists and other healthcare professionals, creating detailed imagery and data through a variety of techniques, which clinicians can then use as the basis for accurate diagnosis of medical conditions. Almost 40 million imaging tests take place in the UK each year. On this degree you will develop your knowledge and skills through a mix of academic study and work-based learning. About 50% of your time will be spent on placement in hospitals, where you will be taught, supervised and assessed – by dedicated, experienced professionals – to ensure you hav
