Bachelor of Medical Radiation

About

Medical radiations is a rapidly advancing healthcare discipline involving the application of ionising and non-ionising radiation for the diagnosis and treatment of injury and disease.

Medical radiations practitioners are allied health professionals who use radiation to provide diagnostic examinations, radiation therapy treatment, functional imaging and supportive care for people in our community. They are highly skilled and patient-centred healthcare professionals.

There are three divisions of practice for medical radiations practitioners, all with different roles and responsibilities:

medical imaging
nuclear medicine (RMIT is the only Victorian university to offer this degree)
radiation therapy.

You will enrol directly into one of the three specialised streams, choosing one that best aligns with how you would like to work in the field of medical radiations.

Why study medical radiations at RMIT?

Industry input

Our academic teaching staff are AHPRA-registered practitioners with direct industry experience. Strong industry connections engage you with the profession from day one.

Cutting-edge facilities

Work with the latest medical radiations and industry technology, including a state-of-the-art medical imaging laboratory, ensuring you graduate job-ready.

Clinical practice

Gain clinical experience in a wide range of settings starting in your first year, with a total of 51 weeks of supervised clinical practice over the course of your degree.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

You must have successfully completed a qualification recognised by RMIT as equivalent to the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) with a minimum average of 65% (see calculator below).

Career

Our graduates across all three streams are highly sought after and employed in either the public or private healthcare sectors, in roles such as the following:

Diagnostic radiographers are responsible for administering medical imaging procedures. As a radiographer you'll combine knowledge of the physical and biomedical sciences with technical expertise to assist in the diagnosis and care of patients.
Nuclear medicine techologists administer small doses of radiopharmaceuticals to patients for imaging and therapeutic purposes. As a nuclear medicine technologist, you'll work directly with patients, using high-level equipment to record images of this radioactive material in their bodies.
Radiation therapists deliver targeted doses of radiation to tumours. As a radiation therapist, you'll map out individualised treatment plans with patients, then use a linear accelerator machine to attack their cancer cells with focused beams of radiation.

Graduates can undertake further study in the specialist fields of MRI, CT, ultrasound, position emission topography (PET), and specialist areas in radiation therapy. Graduates are also able to enrol into an Honours, Master's degree or a PhD.

Our degree is also recognised in some overseas countries, allowing you to work and travel in your field without the need to undertake further study.
