The Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Honours) (Radiation Therapy) at the University of Newcastle is an advanced, four-year honours degree designed for those aspiring to a career in radiation therapy. Situated within the field of medicine and health sciences, the programme equips students with knowledge of human anatomy, oncology, radiobiology, radiation safety, and advanced radiation treatment planning. The honours component includes an individual research project, fostering critical thinking and research skills relevant to contemporary radiation therapy practice.
Structured over four years, the degree comprises a set of core and elective units of study, with each subject contributing a specified number of credit points towards program completion. The curriculum blends coursework, laboratory practicals, simulation exercises, and clinical placements in Australian healthcare settings, enabling students to develop hands-on technical skills and patient care expertise. Work-integrated learning is a key feature, ensuring graduates are job-ready and familiar with the latest technology and protocols in cancer care.
The programme is suitable for those with a strong interest in helping people, science, and technology, particularly high school leavers or career changers who meet English language and academic entry requirements. Through close links with Australian healthcare providers and a focus on evidence-based practice, students also gain insight into multidisciplinary team collaboration and patient-centred care within the Australian healthcare context.
Graduates are eligible to apply for professional registration and, where relevant, professional accreditation. International students benefit from work rights of up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-completion. Confirm details such as English requirements and professional registration with the university and relevant accrediting agencies via the official course page.
