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.
