UK degrees for Diagnostic Radiography include placement weeks in hospitals in all three years of study so that there is no need for an internship when students graduate. Graduates register with the HCPC and then apply for jobs.

You will need to register with the HCPC before you can work as a radiographer in the UK. Details of how to do this are here:

If you do not meet the eligibility criteria, consider taking a pre-registration masters course to refresh your knowledge and get the practical experience you will need. The follow link is a good tool to search for courses:
