The Master of Medical Radiation Science offers a flexible postgraduate degree for medical radiation science professionals. The aim of the course is to allow students wishing to undertake further study in medical radiation science a range of topics rather than focus on a specific area of specialisation. CSU's Master of Medical Radiation Science is offered in five specialist areas: computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radiographic image interpretation, nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. In addition, students may choose to enrol in the generic course rather than one of the specialisations. The generic Master of Medical Radiation Science is aimed at radiographers, radiotherapists and nuclear medicine scientists. Each specialisation and the generic course in this coursework Master program offers the choice between two study pathways. Students choose to follow either the research or the coursework option. The research option includes the study of subjects relevant to the specialisation, a research proposal and project. The aim of the research project is for students to complete a paper that is suitable for submitting to a publication / journal for peer-reviewed publication. Alternatively, the coursework option is intended for students who wish to focus on theory and practice subjects specific to their specialisation, but who do not wish to pursue the research project subjects. Students who choose this option still complete a research methodology subject. This postgraduate course is designed for practising medical radiation scientists to advance both their technological expertise and academic understanding of the chosen specialisation, whilst continuing clinical work in these areas. The Australian Radiography and Nuclear Medicine professional bodies recognise the value of postgraduate study as a means of keeping pace with rapidly changing technology in these fields, as well as of enhancing research. On completion of 64 points of study (including any credit granted), students may elect to exist the course with a Graduate Diploma. The Graduate Diploma does not include research project subjects generally found in the Masters degree. The on campus offering is open to international students only, with specialisations in Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging only.
