NET2019 - Got the picture? An exploration of the expectations of postgraduate students

The aim of this exploratory qualitative study was to investigate the clinical expectations, experiences and engagement of postgraduate Radiotherapy students at the University of Liverpool. Pictorial data was used to compare and contrast the prospective and retrospective academic and clinical expectations of postgraduate students through illustration produced by this student group. The pictorial data was then analysed in order to identify students’ expectations of a postgraduate vocational programme. Prospective data was collected at the beginning of year one and then retrospective data was later collected at the beginning of year two.
