Radiology - Multidisciplinary Radiology
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 two 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.
3 GOOD REASONS TO STUDY THIS COURSE
1. Enhance career prospects in Radiology (over 50% of our students enter a specialist radiology training scheme every year).
2. Blended course enabling students to adapt their learning to suit their schedule.
3. Instruction from clinicians from multiple specialities giving students an enhanced understanding of the role of radiology in multidisciplinary care provision.

Career Opportunities
This programme is designed for clinicians who rely on imaging for decision-making, for whom a radiology qualification may offer new career progression routes, or for those who wish to further their individual knowledge, skills and research capabilities in the discipline of Radiology. The majority of graduates successfully entered national radiology training programmes in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Others used the programme to upskill either in specific areas (musculoskeletal, for instance) or to further their research careers in other disciplines.
