Work on the frontline of 21st century healthcare. In the Master of Diagnostic Radiography, you will learn how to work with innovative imaging technologies ranging from small mobile X-ray machines to larger units, such as MRI and CT scanners, to sophisticated cardiac units, to enable accurate patient diagnosis and treatment.

As a diagnostic radiography student, you will learn from expert academics how to work closely with radiologists to utilise a range of modalities to provide images and data for the diagnosis and treatment of an injury or disease. You will develop the skills and knowledge to produce medical images and critically analyse both these images and the data generated to determine whether they are diagnostically adequate and appropriate for radiological interpretation.

During this two-year degree, you will complete a number of clinical research and professional placement opportunities, allowing you to combine your theoretical study with the practical capabilities required of the diagnostic radiography profession. Clinical placements are undertaken across both the public and private sectors, providing the opportunity to practically apply your knowledge and develop invaluable industry experience.

Graduate Opportunities

Graduates of the Master of Diagnostic Radiography are qualified health professionals who utilise a range of modalities to provide images and data for the diagnosis and treatment of an injury or disease. Graduates have the skills and knowledge to produce medical images and critically analyse both these images and the data generated to determine whether they are diagnostically adequate and appropriate for radiological interpretation. Diagnostic Radiographers are at the cutting-edge of medicine, working with innovative imaging technologies to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment options for patients. The Diagnostic Radiographer is an integral part of the clinical team and can work in a wide range of areas. They can work closely with radiologist in the imaging department, cardiologists in imaging heart disease, surgeons during a range of operations and emergency doctors in the emergency room. Diagnostic Radiographers can also work in a wide range of research areas from forensics to innovative technology development.

Future study options

Eligible graduates may consider an additional three years of study with us as a research candidate for the higher research degree of Master by Research or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). Higher Research is designed to provide you with the opportunity to undertake in-depth study in a specialised area under the supervision of an academic staff member with expertise in your field of research. The award of the degree in the health sciences will enhance your profile as a genuine researcher and expert in your chosen field, afford opportunities as a published researcher, and may lead to an academic appointment, or to a research appointment with a government or industrial research and development organisation.
