Aims of our flexible, intermittent, part-time, online distance learning (OLDL) programme:
  • to provide an understanding of imaging theory, techniques, analysis and applications
  • to develop research planning and designing skills, incorporating imaging
  • to enable interpretation and analysis of relevant imaging data
  • to relate imaging research to clinical applications

 

Learning outcomes for students who complete the full Master's (MSc) programme:
  • Describe the full range of imaging theory, techniques, analysis and applications
  • Discuss how imaging is used to investigate both normal and abnormal processes and functions (clinically and in research)
  • Feel confident to undertake well designed, methodologically sound and practical research using imaging
  • Create a study design methodology
  • Analyse results and use statistics as applied to imaging studies
  • Be aware of health and safety regulations and legislation related to imaging
  • Translate from basic imaging research to the clinical arena
  • Be empowered to take a critical view of existing research particularly with an awareness of reproducibility and reliability of techniques, sources of bias in research and clinically
  • Demonstrate innovation before discussing and presenting their work to their peers
  • Development of skills in grant and research proposal formulation
  • Develop the tools to initiate and execute research autonomously and produce publishable research summaries
  • Develop good practice in communication and collaboration using modern online communication tools
  • Acquire imaging knowledge to engage with new developments
