BSc(Hons) Radiotherapy and Oncology is accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), which means students can register with them when they graduate.
The course has a strong practical focus. UWE uses evidence-based learning, simulations and highly specialized equipment, such as the Virtual Linear Accelerator (VERT) and Eclipse radiotherapy planning system to deepen students’ understanding and skills.
Learn the theory of good professional practice. Study the science that underpins it. Develop strong inter-professional and interpersonal skills. Spend about half the course on placements in NHS radiotherapy departments, in a variety of environments.
Engage with patients, practicing radiographers and other healthcare professionals on placements, in class and online. With work-based training built-in, specialist facilities and the support of inspirational staff with a depth of experience in radiotherapy, UWE’s students are high achievers.
A high proportion of UWE Bristol students graduate with first-class honours and several have been awarded Student Radiographer of the Year by the Society and College of Radiographers.
