Overview

Throughout the Diagnostic Radiography and Medical Imaging (Hons) course from University of Portsmouth you'll learn how to examine patients safely using X-ray, CT scanning, fluoroscopy, MRI, ultrasound and more.

Career opportunities:

Without diagnostic radiographers it would be harder to diagnose, treat and manage illness and disease. They provide essential services to millions of people every year and are often the first people patients and service users come into contact with during their care. Demand for diagnostic radiographers is rising too. Just before the pandemic, an independent report for NHS England highlighted the need for 3,500 additional radiographers over the next five years, and a 2020 census by The College of Radiographers revealed high vacancy rates in the field.

So, with this degree qualification, you can expect a rewarding career and high demand for your skills.

With experience and additional training, you could go into:

postgraduate study or research in specialisms such as computed tomography, medical magnetic resonance, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and medical physics
health management through the NHS Graduate Scheme
