Diagnostic radiography
Diagnostic radiography is the medical science of producing images of the human body, which can be used to make a diagnosis. We provide courses that can qualify you to work as a radiographer, or help you develop your career.
Diagnostic radiographers play an important role in the diagnosis and management of disease, and in the screening programmes for early detection of cancer.
All our lecturers are registered radiographers. The current team has over 100 years' experience of teaching radiography between them. Our courses benefit from our close links with the hospital departments where you carry out your placements. We also offer professional development for experienced diagnostic radiographers.

Together in the real world of health and social care
Our health and social care courses place a strong emphasis on interprofessional learning. This means that you train alongside practitioners from other health professions. So, depending on your course you could spend time working alongside
