This joint Masters is targeted towards:

• Practicing radiographers
• Radiation therapists
• Professionals working in the field of medical imaging

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

Course Description

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

• Research Methods & Statistics
• Research Dissertation

Students can tailor the course to their own research interests and individual needs by selecting modules offered by the University.

This programme aims to educate and train graduates in an innovative multidisciplinary approach, combining research and 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.
