Learning and teaching approaches include lectures, tutorials and labs to prepare you for clinical placement, workshops, presentations and group discussion. Clinical practice is a major focus of this degree.
You'll undertake work placement in each year of the degree, spending a total of 51 weeks of the three-and-a-half-year degree in supervised clinical practice, making you work-ready upon graduation.

This includes a virtual 3D radiation treatment program (VERT), with a virtual treatment unit, a linear accelerator (Linac) and patient treatment couch, a state-of-the-art medical imaging laboratory complete with treatment rooms including X-ray units and consoles, and the nuclear medicine hot and cold laboratories, complete with specialised equipment and radiopharmaceuticals.
