Multidisciplinary Radiology (MSc/PDip)

About Multidisciplinary Radiology

Course Overview

Radiology is a vast and ever growing field within medicine that is evolving at a pace that is almost difficult to comprehend. It plays a major role within multidisciplinary team care provision with many specialists now dependent on radiological imaging for clinical decision making. Clinicians must evolve with this in terms of our own understanding, clinical skills and engagement with research and development. The MSc/PDip in Multidisciplinary Radiology is designed to meet this need.  

With this in mind this course is designed for clinicians who:

• rely on imaging for decision making within their speciality
• for whom a radiology qualification may offer new career progression routes
• wish to further their individual radiological knowledge, skills and research capabilities

The programme is multidisciplinary in nature, with a fully integrated Clinical and Radiological approach to patient care both among faculty and learners. It is a blended course taught using traditional class-based educational activities and contemporary distance learning technologies.

What makes this course unique ...

• Enhance career prospects in Radiology or other clinical specialities heavily reliant on medical imaging (over 50% of our students enter a specialist radiology training scheme every year)
• Instruction from experienced clinicans from multiple specialities and academics giving the student an enhanced understanding of the role of radiology in multidisciplinary care provision.
• Blended course with interactive teaching including remote and on-campus sessions, distance and self directed learning enabling students to adapt their learning to suit their schedule.

Course Outline

We have designed our modules with distance learning in mind. The traditional class based educational activities are run in one week blocks for each module. This means that a student will only be required to travel to campus for five weeks over the course of the academic year, or this will be spread over the 2 years if doing the course part-time. Utilising contemporary distance learning online technologies students can complete the remaining components of the module in their own time through self-directed learning while not present on campus.

 All students must complete 60 European Credit Transfer (ECT). This is made up from six 10 ECTS modules:

• Research Methods for Evidence Based Practice
• Five clinical modules:

1. Introduction to Basic Radiological Sciences
2. Chest, Cardiovascular and Breast Imaging
3. Musculoskeletal Imaging
4. Central Nervous System and Head and Neck Imaging
5. Gastrointestinal and Genitourinary Imaging

Students undertaking the programme to MSc degree level must also complete a research project and submission of their dissertation (30 ECTS).
