Why study Master of Medical Radiations?

This is a graduate entry-to-practice course in Medical Radiations that offers stream specific study in the disciplines of Medical Ultrasound, and Radiation Therapy. The professional Masters degree provides graduates interested in Medical Radiations, with the academic, clinical and professional framework that will enable them to be employed in their chosen discipline as competent and qualified Medical Sonographers or Radiation Therapists in both the public and private health sector. This is the only graduate entry course offered in Australia by distance learning, and it may be available for study to interstate students in their home state. As an intensive course it will accelerate entry into the Medical Radiations professions. The course includes more clinical practice/experience than any other Medical Radiations degree, and is designed to be completed in two years.

Due to limited clinical training places, there will be no intake into the medical ultrasound stream of the Master of Medical Radiations in 2013. The radiation therapy stream is unaffected and applicants can still lodge an application.
