Medical Radiation Science (with specialisations)

Overview

Each specialisation and the generic course in this master's program offers you the choice between two study pathways – the research or the coursework option.

• Join the research cutting edge

Our research option includes the study of subjects relevant to the specialisation, a research proposal and project.  You'll complete a paper that is suitable for submitting to a publication/journal for peer-reviewed publication.

• Build expertise in your area of interest

Our coursework option offers you the opportunity to focus on theory and practice subjects specific to your specialisation. Designed for practising medical radiation scientists to advance both their technological expertise and academic understanding of the chosen specialisation, this course is offered online.

• Choose your pathway

On completion of 64 points of study (including any credit granted), you may elect to exit the course with a graduate diploma. The Graduate Diploma of Medical Radiation Science does not include research project subjects generally found in the master's degree.

• Learn from industry leaders

Designed, developed and delivered in partnership with industry leaders, this course responds to emerging sector requirements and expectations.

Career opportunities

With this degree you could influence practices and standards of care and treatment within your own public or private health service.
