No, you generally cannot work as a radiology technologist while pursuing your sonographic course in the UK.

Radiology technologist and sonographer roles require specific UK professional qualifications and registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), which are typically obtained after completing your studies and required training.

As an international student on a Student visa, you are allowed to work part-time (up to 20 hours/week during term and full-time during vacations), but these hours are usually for roles that do not require UK professional registration.

For guidance on your work options during studies, please discuss your profile with your LeapScholar counsellor.
