Diagnostic radiography Derby

Given the limited places on the MSc course, I would say there is a certain level of competition during the selection process. This also reflects how good Derby is in healthcare-related subjects. Don't worry too much about the online test (not difficult in my opinion), but you should prepare well for the interview day! You should really be submitting your application asap!

Thank you! What kinds of things would you include in the personal statement seeing as it's 500 words? The summary also says about including a written portion after the online test, what would you include in that?

thank you so much

In the personal statement you should explain why you are interested in diagnostic radiography and show that you know about its role. You may include previous work experience/shadowing to back it up. You should also describe yourself and show why you are suited for this profession. I can’t remember what the question is for the written portion after the online test but it’s definitely related to the content you include in your personal statement. You just need to rephrase it.

Oh I see!! Thank you!! What about the literacy, logic and numeracy test?? I received a link to complete that this week, I just wanted to know how difficult it is or whether I need to prepare for it!?

Hi all. I have an unconditional offer for radiography starting in September (I defered my place last year) can any new or old students inform or of reading/book lists so I can make a start in purchasing these?

Hi @Noor_malik, I've checked with our teaching team to help give you some insight on this. You shouldn't find the online test to be any more difficult than GCSE Maths and English. It is more about literacy and numeracy rather than more abstract concepts. It may help to have a pocket calculator or equivalent on hand.

I don’t think any specific preparation is needed, other than to prepare the personal qualities section beforehand (which we ask candidates to do anyway), this way you can copy and paste into the relevant section on the form. Remember this should be about your general care experience, rather than your passion for radiography.

On the application form will be a section asking about why you wish to pursue this particular course of study – here you should talk about your rationale, motivation, and observational experience; in particular we will be looking for confirmation of your values in accordance with the NHS constitution.

I hope you find that useful and best of luck with completing it.

Hi,

I’m looking to study this course next September. I was just wondering how long it took for you to have an interview from putting in your application, and if you had any time out between your Bsc and applying?
Also, what work experience did you have?

Thanks!!
