Throughout the degree, your development as a learner and a practitioner are facilitated by academic and clinical teams who aim to provide a positive and encouraging learning environment for you to thrive. 50% of your time will be spend on placement, gaining invaluable clinical experience, and when on campus you will have access to dedicated facilities including two digital radiography rooms, CT imaging suite and antomage table.
