Studying sonography for Msc with a Biomedical degree?

Hi guys,

im currently in my final year for biomed and im interested in doing a postgrad in medical ultrasound. I've seen that city and kcl want applicants to have pre-arranged placements before applying. I've seen posts about getting into medical ultrasound being really difficult and competitive. I'm currently looking for hospitals that are able to offer placements. Can anyone in this field or anyone who knows anything about this pleaseeeee provide me with some info/guidance about this field or is it even worth going into?

many thanks!

As above, it is a very competitive field and it is unlikely you will be able to gain a placement without healthcare experience. If you are really set on becoming a sonographer, then you will have to consider the long game by taking another degree course or masters in a relevant discipline (radiography, radiotherapy, nursing, etc.), gaining some hospital experience and then applying for ultrasound. The good news - the courses are exception courses so you would be able to apply for tuition fee and maintenance loan funding even though you will already have a degree.

Ahh thank you for your reply!
Does working in a pharmacy count as healthcare experience? Also, I’m able to do a masters in for example nursing,
Radiology, radiography with my biomed degree? Or do I need to do another bsc?

Thanks!
