The following Programmes of Study are included in this Induction:


BSc (Hons) Medical Imaging (Diagnostic Radiography)


 Medical Imaging

The BSc Medical Imaging programme at the University of Exeter is consistently rated as one of the best in the UK, and we are dedicated to further improving the student experience with significant investment in new facilities for the programme which include an improved x-ray room, laboratory and demonstration room.

This full-time three-year programme includes clinical placements in hospitals across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, which stretch into the summer vacation and, as such, this programme is longer than those in other subjects. You will have three clinical placements as part of the degree programme, where you will attend a different placement site for four months during each year.

Around fifty percent of your time will be spent in clinical practice. Each clinical block is about 4 months in length. You go to a different placement site for each of your years of study.
