The aim of the MSc Ultrasound Imaging programme is to enable you to: Critically evaluate current advances in ultrasound imaging
Apply an evidence-based approach to enhance current and future practice
Perform high quality scans in a safe and effective manner
Reflect upon all aspects of scan performance to enhance quality of practice
Please note that you will need to have an appropriate clinical placement with signed agreement for sufficient scanning experience from a clinical manager and a mentor for clinical modules. Please complete this verification form electronically and ensure you upload this with your application form. Applications will not be accepted without a completed verification form:
You should:
Have BSc (Hons) degree or equivalent in a health care subject. You will usually be required to have achieved a 2.1 Honours degree, but consideration will be given if you have a 2.2 Honours degree with appropriate experience and satisfactory references.
Have registration with a relevant professional body i.e. HCPC, NMC etc. Students without professional registration may still be accepted but will be counselled in relation to employment prospects.
OR
Be a medically qualified doctor with MBBCh or equivalent and registered with a relevant professional body.

On successful completion of an award or single module, you will have evidence of clinical competency. This should allow for successful employment; however, applicants from a non-healthcare background should note that, at present, employment in some NHS Trusts and some private organisations may not be possible due to the requirement for professional registration, although many organisations already employ sonographers from non-traditional backgrounds.
At present, sonography is not a registered healthcare profession, and sonography is not a protected title.
Currently, on successful completion of an award in Medical Ultrasound, students (who do not hold an existing registerable qualification) will not be eligible for HCPC registration. However, this course has been closely mapped against existing HCPC standards of proficiency for diagnostic imaging, CASE standards, and the Society and College of Radiographers.
On completion of an award, you are eligible and can apply for registration through the Professional Standards Authority with the Register of Clinical Technologists. Details of the application process can be found on the RCT website.
UK CASE-accredited ultrasound awards are recognised both nationally and internationally.
The negotiated ultrasound practice modules start in January and can be part of an award or a single module. These modules allow a wider range of healthcare professionals to gain ultrasound qualifications, for example, nurses working in gynaecology/early pregnancy units, focused clinical areas for physiotherapists, podiatrists, midwives, etc. Please discuss with the programme leader before applying for a negotiated module.
