Explore Radiography
Radiography and imaging integrate science, technology, and patient care to play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating patients. As a radiographer, you will utilise various imaging techniques and advanced technology to generate high-quality images, aiding in the diagnosis of injuries or diseases within the multidisciplinary healthcare team.
Our postgraduate programmes in radiography and imaging encompass Advanced Medical Imaging, Nuclear Imaging, and Ultrasound Imaging, complemented by individual modules available for Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
These programmes offer a structured career pathway with opportunities to specialise in areas such as ultrasound, CT/RI scanning, image reporting, teaching, and management. Graduates can pursue careers across diverse settings including children's hospitals, emergency departments, or specialised centres for cardiac care, and may advance to roles as advanced or consultant practitioners.

Campus life. Big city buzz.
Study at Salford really is the best of both worlds. Our Peel Park campus is set in 46 square kilometres of lush, green space to enjoy. But we're also just over a mile away from the big city buzz of central Manchester - voted the UK's most liveable city two years running.
Famous for music, culture, sport, art and science, the cities of Manchester and Salford offers an unrivalled student experience where you can balance your studies with world-class culture, exciting events and legendary nightlife.
Campus life
We know university life isn’t all about studying – sometimes you have to have fun, too – and there are plenty of things to do outside of academia across our campuses.
From joining a club or society, to taking part in a gym class, to meeting up with friends for lunch in Atmosphere bar and café: when you're not working on your next assignment or research project, you can be enjoying the perks of being on campus at the University of Salford.
Campus accommodation
Living in student accommodation is a great way to get settled into university life and meet new people. We've got some great accommodation options to choose from, including Peel Park Quarter - recently voted one of the best halls of residence in the UK.
Becoming an undergraduate student
Choosing a university is one of the biggest decisions you'll make - and we want to help you make the right one.
