Programme Overview
Radiographers are responsible for producing high-quality images to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Radiography requires considerable technological and scientific expertise in both the production of images and the responsible delivery of ionising radiation.
In the initial stages of the degree, students will have modules on the fundamental concepts of radiation science and technology. Human anatomy, physiology and radiographic technique are also introduced and developed.
In later stages, students will deepen their knowledge of radiographic technique by learning various diagnostic imaging technologies, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and other ultrasound and radionuclide imaging. Students also commence the study of pathology which would underpin a critical approach to imaging techniques and radiographic image evaluation.

Is this the right programme for you?
Radiography is a field that combines science with the ability to work with people. Your degree will cover a lot of science subjects so you will have to have a keen interest in biology, physics and chemistry. The development of your clinical skills requires you to be interested in patient care as well. |
