Overview
The Department of Radiological Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science in Radiological Sciences Program. The Ministry of Higher Education approved the program in 2008; student admission began in 2009. Most graduates pursue careers as radiological technologists, while others opt for postgraduate studies or diverse roles such as radiation protection officers and PACS administrators. The program spans four academic years, followed by a year of internship training in clinical settings.
The first year serves as a preparatory foundation, and subsequent years are within the department, focusing on a balanced blend of theoretical and practical sessions. The study plans consist of strategic increases in practical courses while decreasing theoretical courses, ensuring students build a knowledge foundation before honing their skills during a 48-week full-time internship in at least two hospitals.
Two notable features in our curriculum: a deliberate balance between theoretical and practical courses and infusion of computer science into a traditionally structured radiological science program.
In 2022-2023, we started a 2 year M.Sc. in Radiological Sciences with three tracks: 1. Health Physics and Radiation Protection, 2. Medical Diagnostic Imaging, and 3. Radiotherapy and Dosimetry.
