Medical Imaging Technology - MSc

Our MSc in Medical Imaging Technology combines elements from physics, mathematics, computer science, biomedical engineering, biology and clinical medicine to help you develop your knowledge, understanding and skills of engineering design, medical imaging technologies and clinical environment. Through internationally recognised researchers, projects, guest lecturers and a strong collaboration with medical imaging technology SMEs / NHS Trust partners, you will develop the skills needed for a career in a medical imaging-related filed in clinical practice, research, or technical development. A range of optional modules will be offered so you can gain a greater knowledge in an area of your choosing. This course comprises both a taught component and a research project, giving you the skills and knowledge required to pursue a career in applied medical imaging technology field within clinical medicine, medical research, and scientific research or development. Employability:

Employment opportunities in imaging-related fields in healthcare and research are excellent. You could choose to work in medical imaging technology research or development in an academic or industrial sector or pursue a clinical career in radiology. If you wish to follow a clinical technology/science career in medical physics, this degree is an excellent preparation to apply to trainee recruitment programmes. It also forms a sound basis to proceed to PhD research in any aspect of medical imaging. In addition, you’ll have a full complement of transferable skills – such as critical thinking, data analysis, report writing and communication – which are valued by employers.

Applicants will normally be expected to have a 2:2 honours degree, or equivalent, in an engineering, technical, life sciences, medicine or medical aligned qualification.

Applicants without standard entry qualifications who can demonstrate and provide evidence of the necessary knowledge and skills and experience (minimum three years) to successfully complete the course will also be considered.
