Image Appreciation (PgDip/PgCert )
The programme is structured in a modular format and modules are run in short blocks of two to three days. Each module is credit rated at M level according to the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales. Students may leave with any number of credits according to how many modules they successfully complete. The PgDip/PgCert can be studied on a part-time basis, with students completing 60 credits per year over two years, or alternatively students can register to study one or two modules per year on a sessional basis.
Postgraduate Certificate
All students undertake a compulsory 20-credit module on Fundamentals of Radiographic Reporting, and then choose a further two modules from a possible three anatomical specialisations – Appendicular, Axial and Chest Image Appreciation. For students who exit at this stage, the PgCert Award will be titled according to the specialisations chosen.
Postgraduate Diploma

Students obtain the remaining credits necessary for the PgDip by choosing one or two modules from the general postgraduate portfolio of modules run by the School of Healthcare Studies.
