ADVANCED PRACTICE AND REPORTING IN COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY COLONOGRAPHY PgC

This course will allow you to develop knowledge and expertise to advanced practitioner level in Computed Tomography Colonography (CTC) and it is approved by the Society and College of Radiographers. The programme’s modular approach enables our students to gain skills in performing CTC examinations and the reporting of CTC examinations and images. It includes underpinning knowledge of large bowel anatomy, pathology and physiology as well as the practical performance of CTC and producing a report.

You will be introduced to the principles of developing a CTC service and the course is ideally suited to those about to, or who are currently undertaking CTC examinations in their Trust hospital. It is a flexible programme of study allowing for stand-alone modules to be taken, or completion of all three 20 credit modules to obtain the full PgC.

The course will be jointly run by the University of Suffolk and Peterborough City Hospital (part of the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust).

*Subject

APPLIED CYBER SECURITY*

MSc

The programme is a taught postgraduate conversion course which will provide you with the skill sets necessary to demonstrate competence and confidence across a wide range of real-world domains where security considerations are paramount.

Cyber security is not just a technical subject, but also incorporates elements of other disciplines such as psychology, information management, strategy and policy. You will learn how organisations, systems and people can be subverted for malicious purposes, and also learn how to think like a malicious actor, for only then will you be able to develop effective and practical countermeasures. Technical topics, with a strong practical element, include digital forensics, applied cryptography and network security. Crucially these are balanced by a rounded coverage of social engineering, strategic cyber security and topics on intrusion detection, prevention and recovery.

Early modules focus on building the foundational skills required for later topics, and you will have the opportunity to explore any or several of the modules studied in more depth through an appropriate extended project. The programme is designed for students from non-STEM and STEM backgrounds.
