Bachelor Of Medical Radiation Physics

The Bachelor of Medical Radiation Physics degree is designed to produce physics graduates with the specialist skills in Medical Radiation Physics necessary to find employment in hospitals, research or industry along with a strong background in basic physics.

Students will have a specialist knowledge in areas relating to nuclear medicine, radiation physics, detector and instrumentation physics and data analysis. Graduates working in the area require both a theoretical background and practical skills in physics with an emphasis on advanced knowledge and practice in specialists areas applicable to medical physics.

Professional medical physicists from major hospitals in the state will deliver key lectures and practical work as well as co-supervising Honours students thesis work. Students will find that they will move easily into employment and/or postgraduate work in this specialised area.

In the fouth year students will complete an in depth research project on an aspect of Medical Physics.

THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS MUST BE COMPLETED IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THE BACHELOR OR MEDICAL RADIATION PHYSICS.
