develop professional skills that will allow you to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute and chronic illnesses, and following trauma.
Why is this course for me? Radiographers are responsible for producing high quality images to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. While obviously a caring profession, radiography requires consid- erable technological and scientific expertise in both the production of images and the respon- sible delivery of ionising radiation. If you are interested in science and you want to use your knowledge to care for people, then consider Radiography. Our aim is to prepare graduate radiographers
to meet the everyday challenges arising from ongoing advances in diagnostic imaging and healthcare.
What will I study? Troughout this programme you will under- take modules in Technology of Radiography, Practice of Radiography and Clinical Practice of Radiography.

you will work alongside radiography colleagues to learn and refine your professional skills.
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities Diagnostic imaging is a growth area in Ireland and internationally. All graduates in the past five years have obtained radiographer positions. As well as the traditional hospital-based career, some radiographers are employed as applica- tions or sales specialists. An increasing number of graduates are now
undertaking PhD studies. Diagnostic imaging offers successful graduates exciting opportuni- ties to pursue research and/or to develop spe- cialist clinical skills.
International Study Opportunities Erasmus opportunities exist in fourth year. You may spend a three-month period in one of our current partner institutions in Austria, Belgium, Finland, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden and the UK.

Walsh STUDENT
I chose Radiography at UCD as I wanted to pursue my interest in science and a career that involved working with people. Te classes are small so it’s easy to get to know everyone and the lecturers and clinical tutors are very helpful. I love
the variety of radiography, no two days are the same and there are many different areas to specialise in once you qualify.
