Message from Medical Ultrasound Senior Lecturer, Nick White
Medical Ultrasound - BSc (Hons)
Hi, my name is Nick White and I am a Senior Lecturer on the Medical Ultrasound BSc (Hons) course here at Birmingham City University (BCU).
With the start of your course just around the corner, I am sure that you are very excited, but naturally a little apprehensive as well. Here are some hints and tips to make your transition into uni life as smooth as possible and hopefully ease any anxieties you might have.
Preparing for uni
In order to prepare for your studies with us you might like to start thinking about the course content. You don’t need to do lots of reading before you arrive, but some students enjoy learning a little more about medical ultrasound before they get here. Do not worry about purchasing books in advance - we have a wonderful library with a full range of resources to support your studies which you can take advantage of.
Studying with us
Staff and students will be meeting with you and will support you throughout the transition to make sure that your move into higher education is smooth and enjoyable. We’ll explain how we support you throughout your time here and show you the resources you will have access to, to enhance your skills and learning, such as our scanning equipment and simulation facilities.
We want you to have a fantastic time with us and meet like-minded people keen to work in the modern health service. You’ll be provided with opportunities to socialise with people on your course, in the department of radiography and from across the wider University.

Life at BCU
Don't forget you will be studying at one of the most vibrant student-friendly cities in the UK. Whether its sport, music, art or dining out- Birmingham has it all! We’ll be working with our colleagues at the BCU students union during welcome week to provide you with useful information about social events, getting about the City and opportunities such as volunteering.
If you have any questions or queries before you join us later in the year you are most welcome to contact the Programme Director, Charlotte Burnside who will be happy to help you.
We hope to welcome you soon.
