Course code: 3433 + Off-campus (Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, Clayton) + Full-fee-paying course: $TBC (Australian residents); $28,500 (international students)
The aim of the course is to prepare suitably qualified graduates to assume practice as accredited radiation therapists able to work in private and public radiation oncology departments.
Applicants will have a bachelors degree in either science or biomedical science with at least a credit average in a demonstrated course sequence in either the biomedical or physical sciences. If applicants have majored in the biomedical sciences, evidence must also be provided of a capacity to successfully engage in radiation physics and mathematics at graduate level. The Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences will individually assess applicants holding other qualifications. Suitably qualified international students wishing to undertake the Master of Radiation Therapy in their country of residence must also satisfy the Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences in respect to the appropriateness of their clinical supervision.
Credit provision is not possible for this course given its unique structure. However, it is conceivable that overseas-qualified radiation therapists might apply for recognition of prior learning and seek admission to the course as a means of upgrading their qualifications. Such applications will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
The 15-unit (72-credit-point) course is offered over six, 16-week semesters of part-time study over a two-year period, commencing in July of each year. The course contains an academic component and a professional component. The professional component consists of clinical attachments for a total of 57 weeks (2280 hours) throughout the course, required to be undertaken by students to be eligible for a Statement of Accreditation from the Australian Institute of Radiography.
