Teaching
Core material will cover requirements for product and technology development, including ethics and regulatory aspects, technical and commercial skills in medical imaging and diagnostics technologies in advancing 21-st century healthcare in the years to come. Choosing the Medical Diagnostics pathway allows students with an interest in this area to further specialise by undertaking two subject-specific modules. Optional modules allow the selection of complementary topics of particular interest to the student. A collaborative group research project, which parallels the way that diagnostics and imaging experts work in industry, will allow students to integrate their knowledge and understanding in order to solve a problem. Students will also complete an individual research project in their chosen area of specialism.
