The course is a graduate-entry program (students are required to have completed an undergraduate degree prior to entry), however the MDR is designed to accommodate all suitably qualified candidates regardless of their previous discipline.



As the course leads to eligibility to practise, students will be assisted in achieving prescribed professional competencies through practical and theoretical skill acquisition and clinical placements. Clinical placements are undertaken in both the public and private sectors.
