The Radiation Physics degree will give you an understanding of the main sources of ionising and non-ionising radiation encountered in the clinical environment, the legislative and organisational framework surrounding their use and the principles of risk assessment, risk management and radiation protection. You will gain understanding of the performance testing of a wide range of equipment, measurement of patient doses, dose optimisation and audit of radiation departments. 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 University has strong links with health boards with the nearest hospital next-door to the campus. Students have multiple opportunities to use the College of Human and Health Sciences’ state-of-the-art facilities. - Swansea University is the only Welsh University to offer a BSc (Hons) Healthcare Science (Radiation Physics) degree, with very few universities UK-wide offering the course. - UK and EU students are eligible to apply for an enhanced support package through the NHS Wales Bursary arrangements. Conditions for funded places apply, for further information please visit our website - www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/fees-and-funding/studentloansandgrants/nhsfunding/ - EMPLOYABILITY: 100% of Healthcare Science graduates are employed in a professional or managerial job 6 months after graduating (Unistats 2017). - AVERAGE EARNINGS: The average NHS starting salary for graduate Medical Physics Technologists is £24,000 (Band 5) Typical wage brackets go from £22,128-£41,787. - ACCREDITATION: Accredited by the NSHCS (National School of Healthcare and Science), on behalf of Health Education England, for the purpose of eligibility for registration as a Healthcare Science Practitioner on the AHCS (Academy for Healthcare and Science) voluntary register, IPEM (Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine) and RCT (the Register of Clinical Technologists).
