Aims & learning outcomes
To disseminate imaging knowledge, skills and understanding, in order to enable effective and efficient imaging, in research, clinically and in industry.
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
