Hi everyone,

I'm a mature student and I'm hoping to study a BSc (Hons) in Diagnostic Radiography, ideally at Canterbury Christ Church University.

One thing I'm really worried about is the clinical placements. I have family commitments abroad every year from mid-July to mid-August, and I had to give up on my dream of studying nursing because the placement requirements made that impossible.

I was wondering if anyone studying Diagnostic Radiography (especially at Canterbury Christ Church) could tell me what the placement schedule is like/which academic calendar to follow (Trimester, Semester etc) . Do placements usually take place during the summer, or are they mostly during term time?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you! :(

Hey, when it comes to studying university as a mature student for nursing in England, what time period are usually placements? It's mostly because I have family commitments during middle July-middle of August where I need to be abroad, will I be expected to do placement during the summer period? I am just not sure if placements are during the term only (weekends and bank holidays included) or it seeps into student holidays. It's the only thing that is stopping me from applying 😞 Thank you ❤️
