Programme overview
Our BSc (Hons) in Medical Imaging (Diagnostic Radiography) aims to ensure that, on graduation, you have the skills required to successfully embark on a career as a Diagnostic Radiographer and to be eligible to apply for registration with the Health Professions Council (HPC).
This full-time three-year programme includes clinical placements which stretch into the summer vacation and as such this programme is longer than those in other subjects, as illustrated in the diagram below. This enables us to provide both the academic and practical content in sufficient detail to ensure that at the end of three years you are competent to start work as a Diagnostic Radiographer.
We aim to educate radiographers to be caring professionals, able to empathise with patients and offer high levels of patient care, while being confident in their technical ability through a strong academic foundation and able to work effectively in a multi-professional environment.
Interprofessional learning is delivered as part of the core syllabus and in practice, where our students are encouraged to develop the insight and skills needed to work effectively in the multidisciplinary hospital setting upon graduation.
The Radiography degree is based in the Physics Building where we have excellent facilities including a diagnostic x-ray room with digital imaging facilities and laboratories for computing and practical work.
I joined the University of Exeter in August 2009 and have been made very welcome. The course offered here at Exeter aims to combine clinical and academic excellence. We believe that the patient or client is of utmost importance and so we provide extensive clinical experience to ensure our students are truly competent and confident when they graduate and ready to become committed, caring healthcare professionals. The combination of clinical placements, with a sound academic base, ensures that our students have an excellent understanding of the science that underpins medical imaging. This means when you graduate you’ll be equipped to pursue a variety of career options amid a rapidly changing environment

The University of Exeter is an excellent place for studying, the city is vibrant and the people here are friendly. The south-west of England own some of the best cities and towns in the UK, and when I heard that Exeter was in top 10 on the Guardian and Times University league, then I knew I had to choose here for my undergraduate study. The Medical Imaging course here is accredited by the SCoR (Society and College of Radiographers) and the HPC (Health Professions Council), which are recognised globally, this will help me to find a job in most countries in the world. Placements in the south-west NHS hospitals have been the best experience, I was able to put my knowledge into action under the care of qualified radiographers and other medical professions.
