Our Bachelor of Medical Imaging (Honours) (BMedImag(Hons)) is the first undergraduate Medical Imaging programme and the only honours degree in Medical Imaging to be offered by a university in New Zealand. Our graduates will be eligible to apply for registration with the New Zealand Medical Radiation Technologists Board (MRTB). The BMedImag(Hons) programme is currently being assessed for accreditation by the MRTB. The programme is evidence-based and research-led and you will benefit from a combination of academic and clinical studies. The programme offers practical experience in simulation labs, hospitals and private radiology facilities so you will be well prepared to apply your learning in the clinical workplace. The extensive hands-on clinical experience throughout is supported by experienced Medical Imaging Technologists (MITs). Study with us towards a rewarding and patient-centred career as a Medical Imaging Technologist. You will be selected on the basis of academic merit and personal qualities exhibited during the admission interview (MMI). There are two application categories for entry into the BMedImag(Hons): Please note:

The Bachelor of Medical Imaging (Honours) is a four-year qualification (480 points).

You will initially need to complete the first year of a BSc, taking prescribed courses in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, as well as a General Education course. Graduate entrants may be directed to include some or all of the Part I courses depending on their background. In subsequent years (Parts II-IV) you will complete courses in radiographic positioning and image acquisition, the physical principles and technology of medical imaging, image optimisation and evaluation, patient care and safety, sectional imaging anatomy and pathology, professional and evidence-based practice, and specialised imaging.

You will also gain clinical experience in simulation labs, hospitals and private radiology facilities, and produce a final-year dissertation that develops your analytical and research skills in Medical Imaging.
