About the course

Demand for cardiac sonographers currently outweighs supply, meaning you’ll be in a strong position in your future career. Echocardiographers work in a challenging and stimulating hospital environment, combining patient care with analytical problem solving to ensure excellent healthcare and patient support.

Echocardiographers use ultrasound to image a patient’s heart. This is done using a transducer that sends ultrasound waves through the patient's chest to view structures in the heart, such as its valves, chambers and other vessels. The readings are sent to a machine that translates them into a live image, which can be recorded and used to diagnose a variety of conditions.

Entry Requirements

GCSE English language and Maths grade C/4 or above or equivalent

Relevant undergraduate degree in a related field including BSc (Hons) Clinical Physiology (Cardiology) or BSc (Hons) Healthcare Science (Cardiac Physiology) or equivalent e.g. HNC/D Medical Physics & Physiological Measurement (MPPM). Degree at 2:2 or greater.

Applicants would normally be from within a clinically related area but applications are welcomed from people without this type of experience. For those without experience it is advised that you contact the team for further advice prior to application.
