We would like to welcome you to join us during your Induction Week on the week commencing 14th September so that we may introduce you to the course team and help you settle into the university, with orientation and diagnostic specific activities throughout the week. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to engage with your peers and start developing your identity as a diagnostic radiography student in this new and exciting environment.

The course team are all HCPC registered radiographers who are enthusiastic, approachable, and supportive. We are dedicated, with high expectations, promoting professionalism and reflective practice throughout the course. We are committed to collaborative working across multi-disciplines and with clinical partners, providing a brilliant learning experience to ensure your success in becoming highly employable graduates both within the UK and abroad.

We recognise that managing your studies can be daunting and should you need any help or advice on any matter relating to your course, please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the Diagnostic Radiography team. Additional information about the University, life in Birmingham, and the advice and support available to all students will be made available to you over the coming weeks as we welcome you to BCU.
