| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | The programme will recruit graduates from across a range of disciplines, eg biological sciences, social sciences, health sciences, who have obtained a 2:1 classification in their degree. We will also consider those with a 2:2 classification in their degree who are able to provide wider contextual information of recent relevant experience or further study. Non-health related degrees and professional qualifications may be accepted but each application will be considered on its own merits. Applicants must also hold 5 GCSE grades 5-9 (or grades A*-C if assigned according to previous grading system), which include maths English language and a science (dual award is accepted). Applicants must present with a good understanding of the profession including an awareness of the procedures undertaken. Ideally a shadowing visit with a registered occupational therapist in their area of practice must be completed in support of the application. (This has been relaxed in the current COVID situation). The selection procedure requires completion of a successful interview with an academic and clinical panel. The interview utilises the values-based recruitment (VBR) process and applicants will be expected to demonstrate the relevance of the NHS values and pertinent skills required within the radiographic role. Meeting the minimum criteria does not guarantee a place on the programme as competition is high. Candidates are encouraged to present with the strongest possible application. |
