We accept a number of different Secure English Language Tests (SELT) for entry onto our degree courses, with IELTS being the most common. English language requirements vary slightly from subject to subject.

Please see a list of other acceptable English language qualifications.

Professional accreditation

This course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), which means you will be eligible to apply for registration with them when you graduate.

We are working towards re-accreditation by the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR).

Placements

Clinical placements will give you a variety of work experiences, helping you make informed career choices and putting you in a strong position for employment.

With a 14-week work placement each year, you'll spend nearly half the course applying your knowledge and building professional skills in the workplace.

We have excellent links with leading oncology centres in hospitals throughout the South West, including those in Cheltenham, Bristol, Bath, Taunton, Exeter, Torbay, Plymouth, Truro and Poole.

At each clinical site, practice educators will advise, assess, support and give you feedback on your progress.

Study facilities

Use our highly specialised technology to learn how to deliver radiotherapy in practice, including our revolutionary Virtual Linear Accelerator (VERT).

Visit a local radiotherapy centre to reinforce your learning and experience a work environment before going on placement.

Use our Varian Eclipse Radiotherapy Planning System to deepen your skills. We're the first university to offer full remote access to this innovative software. 

Our healthcare library offers a huge selection of books, audio-visual materials, and specialist health and social care software, to support you in your studies.
