Bachelor of Science (Medical Radiation Science)

Medical radiation scientists use radiation on the human body to help diagnose, treat, and monitor medical conditions or provide cancer therapy.

In this course, you will specialize in one of two majors: Medical Imaging or Radiation Therapy.

The course combines subjects from health sciences and science to give you a general grounding in the healthcare environment, along with foundation studies required for medical radiation science practice, including medical physics, anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based practice.

Your first year is interprofessional and taken with other health sciences and science students. From your second year, your studies will focus on your selected major.

You will be prepared to accept responsibility for the care of individual patients by developing the necessary ethical,

medico-legal, cultural awareness, and communication abilities.

This course is highly competitive and has limited places due to clinical placement requirements.

Medical Imaging

Medical imaging professionals work with a range of sophisticated diagnostic imaging modalities, including computed and digital radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, and angiography equipment. They produce images that are used to confirm or exclude a medical diagnosis, to advise on a treatment or illness, monitor patient progress, or provide medical screening.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapists play an integral role in the treatment, care, and management of patients undergoing radiation therapy treatment, primarily in treating a range of cancer types. They design, develop, and deliver radiation therapy treatment using a range of complex technologies and equipment.
