Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Honours) in Nuclear Medicine

Program Overview

This is the only honour's degree of its kind in South Australia, preparing you for a rewarding career in the highly specialised field of nuclear medicine.

Nuclear Medicine Technologists prepare and administer radioactive substances – radiopharmaceuticals – to evaluate the function of an organ or body system and diagnose/treat disease.

What you'll learn
Nuclear medicine technologists need to know how to confidently prepare and administer radioactive substances (radiopharmaceuticals), to evaluate the function of an organ or body system and diagnose and/or treat diseases. Throughout your degree, you’ll learn how to work with radioactive substances, and complement your clinical skills with valuable interpersonal skills such as communication and collaboration.

During your first year you’ll focus on basic sciences at the core of the study and practice of medical radiation science. You’ll cover a range of topics, including anatomy, physiology, pathology and radiation physics. These core subjects offer an introduction to medical radiation and the scientific principles surrounding it.

Applying these concepts to professional practice occurs through clinical placements, which begin in your second year and continue through third and fourth year.

You’ll also take part in regular pre-clinical preparation workshops to further extend your skills as you move into advanced areas of practice.

As part of the honour's component, you’ll complete an honour’s project under the supervision of an experienced researcher and report on this project through a thesis and oral presentation. This will allow you to develop advanced research skills and complete training courses in research methods and ethics.
