Introduction

This research course provides the opportunity to undertake significant studies in a particular area of medical imaging.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

A Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Imaging Science, requiring above average academic record, or via the honours program in medical imaging science, requiring at least a second class pass, or an equivalent level of award from another institution.

Duration and Availability

The course is by research and normally requires one to two years of full-time study. The course is also available in part-time mode.

Course Organisation

This course is studied as a research degree. The content of the degree should be determined in consultation with the Postgraduate Coordinator, Department of Medical Imaging Science. Students without prior studies in research methods and statistical data analysis will be required to undertake relevant preparatory units. This will increase the stated course duration.

Additional Course Expenses

Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials. In addition, students may also need to contribute some of the cost of consumables, which varies depending on the area of study.

Special Note

It is a requirement that two-thirds of this course is undertaken by research and only one-third by coursework. Students should not enrol in this research course to receive the Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Imaging but rather have undertaken it as a requisite for admission.
