Radiography

Hi, im choosing a degree at the moment and i wanted to know peoples thoughts on radiography as a career as i am really stuck between psychology and radiography. If i was to do psychology i would also do a masters in clinical or forensic psych. I just wanted to know peoples thoughts and opinions on radiography, and wanted to know abit more about what its like and whether its worth choosing.

I’m in the exact same position I’m deciding between studying psychology to go in to clinical psychology or radiography ive researched both but I’m unsure . I’m studying psychology as one of my alevels and find it interesting but the career I’d want to go into is clinical psychology but Ik that’s really competitive and I also have an interest in diagnostic radiography as well as sonography. Does anyone know if a masters is required for radiography and if not how does doing the masters change your position? Also how could u go from radiography to sonography ?

You can do an undergraduate degree for diagnostic or therapauetic radiography and then start work (no masters required). You would need a suitable degree (eg radiography, nursing, midwifery) and a postgraduate diploma to become a sonographer. There is a national shortage of both diagnostic and therapauetic radiographers so a job is pretty much guaranteed on graduation. If you study in England, you will also benefit from an annual payment (currently £6,000 for radiography) for each of your three years of study from the NHS Learning Support Fund.

The approved course providers for sonography are listed in the PDF on the following link:

So if I studied radiography at undergraduate level and then did a msc for diagnostic radiography at Leeds I could do sonography?
