In order to apply for registration as a medical imaging practitioner in Victoria a person must obtain a Statement of Accreditation from the Australian Institute of Radiography. Successful completion of the four-year Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging will enable graduates to receive their Statement of Accreditation and apply to the Medical Radiation Technologists Board of Victoria for registration.
In 1998 it is expected that the first year intake will be thirty students. In addition to these places the faculty may offer a limited number of first-year places to suitably qualified overseas students on a full-fee paying basis as well as local students.
To be eligible for selection into the course an applicant must apply through the VTAC system and complete a Monash Radiography Application Form.
The
prerequisites for entry into radiography at Monash are:
(a) a grade average of C in English;
(b) a grade average of C in Physics
(c) a grade average of C in Specialist Mathematics or Mathematical Methods
1 All
applicants must complete a Monash Radiography Application Form which is to be
returned to the Faculty of Medicine by 28 November. The information on the
form will be used to supplement that already supplied to VTAC.
2 Selection will be made on the basis of the TER and will involve a
two-stage process with a middle band of approximately 20 per cent.
Applicants who have achieved a grade average of at least a C in Specialist Mathematics will be deemed to have a TER up to 2 percentage points higher. In addition, applicants who have achieved a grade average of at least a C in Biology or Chemistry will be deemed to have a TER up to 2 percentage points higher. An interview may be required during the selection period in the first half of January.
Students who have not achieved their entrance qualifications in Victoria must hold qualifications which in the faculty's opinion are equivalent to those held by local candidates. The qualifications must include the same prerequisite subjects as those for local candidates outlined above. Such applicants must demonstrate at least the same level of academic merit as that which is required for local applicants.
Applicants
presenting with either partially complete or completed tertiary qualifications
will be considered for entry to the radiography course. In considering such
applications the faculty selection committee will take account of an
applicant's entire academic record and motivation as evidenced by the responses
in the Monash Radiography Application Form. An interview may be required during
the first half of January. Applications for later-year entry from 1999 may be
considered. Applicants for later-year entry must clearly demonstrate to the
faculty selection committee that the content of their previous studies is at
least equivalent to the Monash radiography course components for which they are
seeking exemption.
If you wish to apply for the Monash radiography course, please note that the
Guide for prospective students which contains the appropriate
application form is published by the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre
(VTAC), 40 Park Street, South Melbourne, Vic. 3205. This guide is
available from VTAC in July or August and applications for courses close during
September. Non-school leaver applicants must also complete the Monash
Radiography Application Form obtainable from the faculty office during
September.
Monash University students applying solely for a transfer to the Monash
radiography course must complete the Monash Radiography Application Form. A
VTAC application is not necessary.
