Program Overview

Radiation Therapists work alongside Radiation Oncologists and Medical Physicists to plan and deliver radiation treatment, primarily to cancer patients. Using dedicated radiotherapy treatment planning software, Radiation Therapists model radiation dose and operate radiation equipment to accurately deliver high energy ionising radiation treatments, delivering safe and effective patient care and outcomes. You will also work as part of an interprofessional team to deliver life-changing outcomes for patients.

We offer South Australia’s only degree to become an accredited radiation therapy professional, and will prepare you to confidently join the workforce through a mixture of practical, theoretical, and industry learning.

 

What you'll learn

Using dedicated radiotherapy treatment planning software, Radiation Therapists model radiation doses and operate radiation equipment to accurately deliver high energy ionising radiation treatments. You’ll learn these techniques and practices safely and effectively through this degree.

During your first year, you’ll focus on basic sciences at the core of the study and practice of medical radiation science. The curriculum covers anatomy, physiology, pathology and radiation physics. These core subjects offer an introduction to medical radiation and the scientific principles surrounding it.

Applying these concepts to professional practice occurs through over 1,400 hours of clinical placements, which begin in your second year and continue through third and fourth years.

You’ll also take part in regular pre-clinical preparation workshops to further extend your skills as you move into advanced areas of practice.
