About this course
This flexible course is one route in our postgraduate radiography programme, which allows you to focus on your own area of interest.
This route is designed for diagnostic radiographers. You can choose to study for a PgCert, PgDip or MSc award.
Even though there is no difference in delivery, the course is structured such that it will accommodate you whether you want to study part-time of full-time.
You can also take individual modules as free-standing short courses without committing to the recognised awards.
The Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education is a unique partnership between Kingston University and St George's, University of London. This means that you benefit from the expertise and facilities of two complementary institutions
Kingston University has a long-established reputation for vocationally-relevant education; and
St George's, University of London combines teaching and research excellence in healthcare sciences.
