Course Description
- Diagnostic imaging is a growth area in Ireland, and internationally, and this course, recognised by Ireland’s health regulator (CORU), provides for this demand. UCC’s MSc program was the original MSc (Pre-Registration) Diagnostic Radiography program in Ireland
- The MSc Diagnostic Radiography program is an accelerated pre-registration course for students with a primary degree in a subject other than diagnostic radiography
- The program uses the learning and teaching methods that best support students to develop the knowledge, skills, and professional attributes necessary for effective radiography practice
- The aim of this program is to provide each student with an excellent educational experience both in academic and clinical environments. This ensures graduates that can contribute to the constantly advancing and evolving nature of healthcare requirements
- Practice education is an integral component of the program and students are required to undertake a clinical placement. Clinical placements will mostly take place in the hospitals of the South/South West Hospital Group (SSWHG) and other centres nationally
