Program overview
A three year honours degree in diagnostic imaging, covering radiographic technique, anatomy and pathology, radiation physics and safety, patient care and extensive supervised clinical placement.
At GBP 17,200 this is cheaper than most degrees here, and it asks the higher English band at IELTS 7.0 with no band below 6.5 because of the clinical contact.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Diagnostic Radiography is taught at the University of Gloucestershire, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the diagnostic radiography degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the diagnostic radiography degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the diagnostic radiography degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the diagnostic radiography degree does not support a family move.
Entry to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Diagnostic Radiography is a recognised Grade 12 or equivalent school qualification at 65 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 7.0 with no band below 6.5, and tuition for the diagnostic radiography degree is recorded at GBP 17,200. Gloucestershire charges no application fee, and Gloucestershire charges no application fee, and an India Scholarship of GBP 4,000 to 5,000 may apply to the diagnostic radiography degree automatically. The diagnostic radiography degree lists two entry windows, the earliest in 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the diagnostic radiography degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this course.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 7.0 overall with no band below 6.5; TOEFL iBT 95 with reading 24, writing 24, speaking 25 and listening 22; or PTE Academic 76. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted.
- Application and deposit: The University of Gloucestershire charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: Gloucestershire runs an India Scholarship worth GBP 4,000 to 5,000 for self-funded international students, awarded automatically with no separate application. A Global Scholarship of GBP 1,500 also applies, and merit awards run higher again. You cannot hold more than one university scholarship, so the India award is normally the one to pursue. Confirm the exact figure on your offer letter rather than assuming the maximum.
- Additional requirement: This course leads toward a protected title requiring registration with the Health and Care Professions Council. An enhanced DBS check, occupational health clearance and immunisation records apply to clinical placements. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted at this campus on any course. Plan for IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT or PTE Academic instead.
- Work rights: the diagnostic radiography degree is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
