Our research in the field of medical radiation science education and emerging medical imaging technology has a substantial clinical and professional impact, reflected in high publication rates in leading journals and numerous invitations to present at both national and international conferences.
In our degree and professional teaching programs, we are dedicated to providing our students with a robust foundation in the medical radiation sciences, coupled with a strong sense of community engagement. Our approach emphasises evidence-based practice, and we actively immerse our students in authentic clinical placements, ensuring they gain hands-on experience in real-world settings.
