The BSc (Hons) Healthcare Science (Nuclear Medicine) degree is ideal if you enjoy basic physics, which underpins the technology used. Medical Physics Technologists work alongside doctors and other healthcare professionals. They use advanced techniques to diagnose and treat disease using isotopes and radiation in its various forms.You learn how to use radioisotopes to image organs and compartments in the human body, for example lung perfusion and ventilation studies or thyroid function tests. Students on this course spend half their time at university and half on placements, preparing for the world of work. This course starts before normal University term time and has different leave entitlements. The degree will: - Equip you with the skills to work in the NHS or private sector - Provide transferable skills in team working, communication, problem-solving and analysis The University has strong links with health boards with the nearest hospital next-door to the campus. In addition, students also have multiple opportunities to use the College of Human and Health Sciences’ state-of-the-art facilities. Our clinical practice suite allows students of nuclear medicine to learn practical skills before using them in a real life situation. - UK and EU students are eligible to apply for an enhanced support package through the NHS Wales Bursary arrangements.
