We offer a highly flexible part-time pathway that will appeal to a wide range of health care professionals who wish to develop ultrasound skills as an extension of their scope of practice. You can choose to study our innovative full-time, fast-track pathway designed for science and health-related graduates wishing to explore a career in this exciting and rapidly expanding area of diagnostic imaging. Our fast-track students will gain an MSc in just two years. You’ll receive high-quality teaching from friendly, supportive, and enthusiastic staff, who are clinically and research active. You’ll engage in practice-based learning in a clinical environment with expert mentor support. Ultrasound is an essential tool in medical diagnosis. In recent years, demand has grown beyond all expectations, resulting in expansion of the modality both in imaging departments and point-of-care clinical settings. To meet this demand, we have created our MSc Ultrasound to offer you the opportunity to train in general or very focused ultrasound applications. You’ll be taught in our modern Clinical Skills Suite by some of the area’s leading experts in this field and using state-of-the-art simulation systems. The course is modular, offering both full-time and part-time enrolment options to help you fit your professional development into your lifestyle. Our part-time pathway is flexible in its design, delivery, and assessment to help you meet the demands of work and family commitments. A broad range of negotiated modules allows you to put together a programme of study that meets your individual learning needs, supporting your individual career aspirations.
