Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging) at Keele is designed to reflect the current nature of radiography practice and to meet the future demands of the profession. The programme is structured around core themes including radiographic practice and science, the human body, interpreting images,
inter-professional learning, and research. You will apply your learning through a range of clinical placements to enable you to develop your practical skillset.
