The Bachelor of Medical and Radiation Physics Advanced (Honours) program equips students with specialized expertise for careers in hospital radiation oncology, nuclear medicine departments, academic settings, or industry. Graduates gain comprehensive physics knowledge alongside specialized theoretical, practical, and programming competencies in radiation medicine, preparing them for roles in hospitals, research facilities, or related sectors. The program emphasizes innovative research and development, with professional medical physicists from NSW hospitals delivering lectures, practical sessions, and thesis supervision. Students transition smoothly into professional roles or advanced studies in this field.
The Honours year focuses exclusively on Medical Physics, featuring a significant 24-credit research project conducted with community or government partners. This research is complemented by three specialized courses covering core Medical Radiation Physicist responsibilities: Medical Imaging, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiobiology with Radiation Protection.
This program builds on the achievements of the Faculty's School of Physics through its Centre for Medical Radiation Physics. Students gain from faculty members' robust research partnerships with domestic and international organizations and leading medical radiation physics institutions.
