Cardiff University · Cardiff, Wales
Cardiff University runs 1 approved course leading to registration as a diagnostic radiographer — undergraduate degree, taught in Cardiff, Wales. This page sets out what each one awards, how long it takes, what the published entry requirements are, and how the offer compares with other providers nearby.
There is one approved route into practice as a diagnostic radiographer at Cardiff University: BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography and Imaging. It is approved by the HCPC, and that approval is the point of the qualification: completing an approved programme is what entitles you to apply for registration, and only registrants may use the protected title — “radiographer” or “diagnostic radiographer”.
The offer here is undergraduate. Expect the year to alternate between taught university blocks and supervised clinical placement with local NHS and independent services, with placements scheduled inside term time rather than in the holidays — which is what makes these degrees harder to combine with regular paid work than most.
No typical offer has been published in the open data for any diagnostic radiographer course at Cardiff University, so this page does not state one — a plausible-looking grade requirement invented here would be worse than nothing. The course links below go to the record the listing was built from, and the university's own admissions page is the version that binds.
Where you train shapes where you are placed. Practice placements on these programmes are arranged with NHS trusts, health boards and independent providers around the university, so a course in Cardiff, Wales means learning that patch's services and its referral routes, and meeting the clinicians who run them. That is worth weighing against a more distant offer: placement travel is real and can be daily, and the region you train in is where your first job is most likely to be. For context, 37 UK universities in this dataset train diagnostic radiographers at pre-registration level, so there is usually more than one geography open to you.
Only what the published record actually states. Requirements change every cycle — confirm against the university's own page before you apply.
