Radiology - Multidisciplinary Radiology

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. The experience and knowledge gained through this course also lends itself to specialities with high dependence on radiological imaging.
