Course programme
Career opportunities When you graduate you’ll be ready to work in public and private nuclear medicine, diagnostic radiography and radiation therapy facilities, as well as in management, research, industry (application specialists) and higher education. Explore opportunities in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging Work as a nuclear medicine scientist either in public hospitals or private nuclear medicine practices anywhere in Australia. You will be eligible to register with the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia. You can also apply to work in some overseas countries – like New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Graduates are employed as nuclear medicine scientists or CT radiographers in rural and metropolitan areas, and further study and training can set you up for a career in ultrasound or MRI. Work in diagnostic radiography Become a diagnostic radiographer/medical imaging technologist in a public hospital or private radiology practice. You’ll be ready to work throughout Australia, or some overseas countries – and you can boost your career prospects by registering with the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia. Further study and training will set you up for a career in ultrasound or MRI. Become a radiation therapist Explore a career as a radiation therapist in public hospitals or private radiation oncology practices anywhere in Australia, as well as overseas. You could also specialise in areas such as tomotherapy and IMRT. We are seeking course accreditation so graduates will be eligible to register with the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia.
