Ultrasound imaging has made a dramatic impact on patient diagnosis and management, and the demand for ultrasound as a medical imaging tool has increased rapidly. An increasing range of professional groups are now using ultrasound, not only imaging departments. As such, the Ultrasound programme at the University of Salford is committed to supporting this increased demand by offering comprehensive training in clinical ultrasound. The MSc Ultrasound Imaging course is part-time and modular. The programme runs from January to January. It includes core mandatory modules, named clinical modules, and negotiated modules which allow individual learning needs to be met. This programme is accredited by the Consortium for the Accreditation of Sonographic Education (CASE), ensuring the highest standards are met and students will be competent and able to practice professionally within their chosen field. We regularly review programme content to ensure it meets students’ requirements and offers a flexible part-time pathway to aid a wide range of healthcare professionals in developing their professional ultrasound practice. You will: - Benefit from our close links with NHS clinical providers. - Have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience supported by virtual simulators. - Be taught by lecturers of national and international standing.
Getting in
As the university states it
You will hold a BSc (Hons) in Diagnostic Radiography or another healthcare professional qualification with a 2:1 or above. For the clinically related modules, you must also have access to a relevant imaging caseload and the support of a clinical mentor. The University cannot find a clinical placement for you. If you do not have a 2:1 degree and wish to apply, the programme lead will decide whether Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) is required. This may delay your offer, so please apply as soon as possible.
