Course content

Our MSc in Medical Imaging provides a comprehensive grounding in Computed Tomography (CT) and / or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), equipping you to practice in a rapidly evolving field. Our range of modules encompass theory, clinical applications and how theory is applied to practice. One module will encompass evidence-based practice and enable you to undertake a research, audit, or service evaluation project.

You can choose optional modules from our wider postgraduate portfolio, including leadership, clinical education, and research. At least 50% of your credits must come from Medical Imaging specific modules (identified with the prefix PAMM below). These are co-taught with radiography learners from different programmes. Other modules (in Clinical Education, Management and Leadership and Research) are taught to multi-professional cohorts enabling you to benefit from elements of interprofessional learning. 

The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.
