Queensland University of Technology
About
The Bachelor of Medical Imaging (Honours) can lead to a career as a radiographer (also known as a medical imaging technologist) where you will use techniques such as X-ray, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to produce high-quality images which are then used by medical specialists to diagnose, manage and treat an injury or disease.
The honours component of the course will offer you a competitive advantage in the workplace.
You will be a critical thinker with a strong foundation in research, and have advanced skills to become a leader in a profession where responsibilities and capabilities are expanding.
You will study a series of topics in preparation for a research project which is part of your final year studies, along with advanced imaging and professional practice placements.
