Here is what the Bachelor of Science (Medical and Radiation Physics) qualification offered by University of Wollongong covers and who it is designed for.
The Bachelor of Science is a three-year degree, in which you will complete 24 subjects, of which some will contribute to your major (your chosen specialisation).
All subjects include a major practical component to complement and reinforce what you learn in lectures, and ensure you gain hands-on skills that prepare you for real-world activities in your future careers.
At UOW, you will learn from academics that are internationally recognised in many fields of scientific research.
Throughout the Medical and Radiation Physics major you will become familiar with ionising and non-ionising radiation used for radiation medicine.
Medical and radiation physicists work in many different fields related to human health to improve quality of life. You will learn about the various forms of therapeutic radiation oncology as well as different methods of diagnostic radiation imaging. This core knowledge will enable you to understand how this radiation interacts with the human body.
The Medical and Radiation Physics major will place you at the forefront of this dynamic field as you explore exciting new technologies designed for the continued improvement in the treatment of human diseases.
