Graduate Diploma Medical Imaging

Practicing radiographers

Radiation therapists

Professionals working in the field of medical imaging

The Graduate Diploma programme provides an alternative to the modality specific  programmes and allows students to tailor a programme to their specific needs and interests

As part of this course, students will undertake a combination of modules.

Students may also tailor the course to their own individual needs or interests by selecting elective modules from UCD and partner institutions.  This flexible approach facilitates travel to partner universities in the European Union.  It also caters to students who wish to remain in Ireland for the duration of the course through the provision of distance learning options.

This programme aims to educate and train graduates in an innovative multidisciplinary approach, combining advanced practice in medical imaging.

Students may select from over 20 modules offered in UCD and across the partner institutions. This provides students with the unique opportunity to tailor their own programme and to travel and study at a number of European Universities. A number of these modules will involve distance learning, thus facilitating those students who wish to undertake modules at a partner University without necessitating travel
