Radiological Technology
Bachelor of Science in Radiological Technology
The Bachelor of Science in Radiological Technology degree is designed to educate and train graduates for careers in radiological technology and health-related sciences. After two years of studies in basic science, students are offered a range of subjects in radiological technology, including radiography (anatomy, pathology, positioning), radiobiology, radiotherapy, medical imaging and nuclear medicine.
Program objectives
After completion, the graduates of this programme will be able to
1. Integrating theoretical and practical knowledge in medical radiation science and technology including radiation physics and instrumentation, radiation protection and safety, and digital image processing to conduct clinical practices.
2. Performing clinical practices in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy according to national competencies and international standards in radiological technology including ASMIRT and EANM competencies.
3. Work in clinical practices with good communication, multidisciplinary teamwork skills, responsibility for self and group works, and professional ethics.
4. Possess critical thinking, problem solving, information technology skill, interpersonal skill, and leadership.
Program’s educational philosophy : Student-centered learning and outcome-based education
Expected Learning Outcomes
1. Apply basic and radiological sciences to medical and radiological practice.
2. Perform routine general radiography and routine CT according to the professional standards.
3. Perform diagnostics procedures by using nuclear medicine technology.
4. Perform therapeutic procedures by using radiotherapeutic treatment techniques.
5. Apply moral and code of ethics for providing services to the patients and related personnel during radiological practice.
6. Demonstrate effective collaboration, communication, multidisciplinary skills, and cultural awareness with the co-workers, patients, and related personnel for providing service.
7. Perform basic research to solve the problems and support education in radiological technology.
