Course facts
Duration:
Fast-track 2 years.
Hours of study per week:
All apprenticeships have 80% in the workplace with your employer and 20% off-the job learning.
Delivery type:
At the start of Level 6, you will undertake an on-boarding activity remotely for three weeks in August. You then attend the University full-time for two weeks.
For 25 weeks of the academic year, you will spend one day a week in academic study. This is online.
You will undertake 75 days of clinical placement over each academic year. The placement is arranged by your employer. This totals 1,125 hours of placement activity over the two-year degree apprenticeship.
Active learning is the signatory style of delivery for modules within this programme. This will be facilitated through activities supporting peer learning, practical and simulated learning, critical reflection, seminars, tutorials, student led debate, group presentations, webinars, discussion forums, group projects, independent enquiry, problem-based learning and research/enquiry-based learning and personal development planning.
Other key facts:
All apprenticeships have an End-Point-Assessment to demonstrate that the apprenticeship standard has been met. For the diagnostic radiography degree apprenticeship this is integrated into the degree and there is no additional assessment required.
Apprentices will spend a large proportion of their time on the programme within workplace-situated environments. In this environment they will learn under close supervision of experienced radiographers and be supervised in all aspects of clinical practice.
