Bachelor Degrees prepare students to develop broad and coherent knowledge and skills in a discipline for professional work and further learning corresponding to AQF level 7 qualifications. Psychology encompasses all aspects of human behaviour, using tested theoretical frameworks to examine, explain and predict what we do as individuals and in groups. The three-year general applied psychology program emphasises the application of knowledge to problems arising in professional practice. It provides an understanding of the theoretical framework within which various approaches and techniques have been developed. Experimental design relevant to applied research is an important part of the course. Professional Recognition A further year of study in psychology is necessary before you can apply for associate membership of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and provisional registration. This further year of study must be an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council accredited fourth year of study in psychology. After completing this additional year of study, graduates are eligible to apply for associate membership of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and provisional registration. In Australia two years supervised psychological practice after fourth year or completion of a two-year masters program or a one-year professional masters and one year of supervised psychological practice is required for full registration as a psychologist.

The Bachelor of Science (Medical Radiation Science) includes two majors, Medical Imaging (MJRU-MRSMI) and Radiation Therapy (MJRU-MRSRT). Applicants will indicate their selected major. The Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy majors offer a Pass and Honours stream in fourth year. Medical Imaging graduates work with a range of sophisticated diagnostic imaging modalities including Computed and Digital Radiography, Fluoroscopy, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Mammography and Angiography equipment. They produce images which are used to confirm or exclude a medical diagnosis, to advise on a treatment or illness, monitor patient progress, or provide medical screening. A genuine interest in managing a wide range of patients and their needs is an important function of the professional. Radiation Therapists play an integral role in the treatment, care and management of patients undergoing radiation therapy treatment, primarily in treating a range of cancer types. Graduates must balance a genuine interest in patients and their welfare with the technical requirements necessary to undertake Radiation Therapy procedures. Radiation Therapy increasingly incorporates high end imaging technologies as integral requirements of patient treatment. Professional Recognition The Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy majors of the BSc(MRS) are approved by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia. More information is available at www.ahpra.gov.au. It is the University’s responsibility to register students who are enrolled in the BSc(MRS) with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. Mandatory reporting obligations apply to registered health professionals and educational providers. Further information is available at ahpra.gov.au. Course Accrediatation The BSc(MRS) is approved for accreditation by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia. Further information is available at https://www.medicalradiationpracticeboard.gov.au/. Career Opportunities Medical Radiation professionals are usually employed in clinical sites including large teaching hospitals, private and country hospitals, and private clinics (metropolitan and rural). Graduates will normally initially practise in more general areas of practice but can progress to more specialised areas of practice with experience, or when opportunities become available within the workplace. Graduates may also pursue more technical careers in medical physics or biophysics, radiation health, or with equipment manufacturers, for example. Career development can also lead to managerial positions. There is also the opportunity to pursue further education including research degrees. Graduates from Curtin have over the years been highly regarded and employment opportunities are readily available in metropolitan, rural and regional areas. There is a strong industry demand, and you will be qualified to work anywhere in Australia, and in many locations internationally. Additional Course Expenses Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials. Students may be required to pay for additional expenses whilst on fieldwork/clinical placements.

Bachelor Degrees prepare students to develop broad and coherent knowledge and skills in a discipline for professional work and further learning corresponding to AQF level 7 qualifications. This course provides coverage of aspects of modern computing. It covers fundamental programming and theoretical knowledge followed by an opportunity to specialise in Cyber Security The courses offers coverage of the key concepts and challenges in data and resource protection and computer software security. There are a focus on both the high level (e.g. cryptography theory and data access policy development and security program management) and low level practical (e.g. computer forensics, network intrusion detection and incident handling) aspects of computer security. The addition of programming techniques differentiates this course from more policy-based options. The aim of this course is to prepare the students for the areas of ICT stated to be most in-demand and for positions that are most difficult to fill. Course Accreditation Status This course will be sent to the ACS for provisional accreditation once it is approved. Career Opportunities Graduates may be employed in one of a number of roles relating to computer or network security on either the red (penetration testing) or blue (target defense) teams. In addition they can join programming teams as security specialists and have good knowledge of security policy.
