What our students say

“I found the subjects interesting, the lectures informative andenjoyed preparing assignments. Because I had not studied for along time it was a bit of a challenge but I really enjoyed gettingback to researching for coursework - particularly my case studiesand creating the poster.

I went on to take an MRI reporting course straight afterwards andfound the preparation at City was really good. The programme hasmade me look at my work differently, probably in more depth andwith a greater understanding.”

Barbara ChippendaleClinical Specialist MRI

“I enjoyed both the physics and applications subjects. I particularlyenjoyed the chance to explore and expand on concepts that areoften skimmed over in the busy work place. I received an excellentlevel of support and resources were provided.

I’ve gained a greater confidence in my MRI scanning ability. Theknowledge to manipulate sequences for faster scanning/optimalquality etc. has been useful with difficult patients/unusual cases.Greater knowledge of clinical applications has been particularlyuseful when scanning in locations/situations with reducedRadiologist support.”
