Overview

Radiotherapy is the use of X-rays and other ionising radiations to treat patients who have been diagnosed with cancer. A therapeutic radiographer is someone who can combine technical skills with a caring attitude, has a sense of responsibility and enjoys working in a team.

The Radiotherapy and Oncology program at University of Suffolk embeds the Standards of Proficiency determined by the regulator, the Health and Care Professions Council. Graduates are eligible to apply for HCPC registration which is a requirement for employment in a broad range of NHS and private radiotherapy roles.

The course is designed to develop competent practitioners, capable of independent enquiry to support the provision of high quality, evidence-based care for patients undergoing radiotherapy.

During the course students also have the opportunity to produce a professional development portfolio as part of 'Graduate Headstart', which help to develop and evidence a wide range of transferable skills, enhancing employability.

Career Opportunities

Students readily gain employment in both NHS Trusts and the private sector as qualified Therapeutic Radiographers. Following a period of additional study, many go on to specialise in a particular area.
