Admission requirements

In order to qualify for admission, applicants must have one of the following:
* A bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
* Other evidence of general and professional qualifications
and/or experience, to satisfy the Faculty that the applicant
possesses the educational capacity to pursue graduate
studies, and satisfy such additional requirements for

Students who entered the Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma of Health Science (Medical Radiation Sciences) with an undergraduate diploma or less will be required to achieve at least a credit average to be able to articulate to the Master of Health Science (Medical Radiation Sciences). Acceptance into the MRS graduate program and articulation from any level of the program to any higher level is at the discretion of the academic advisor and program coordinator. The lower level award will be relinquished on achieving the higher award; however, full credit transfer will be given for the 4 units of study completed in the Graduate Certificate or the 6 units completed in the Graduate Diploma, leaving only a further four or two units of study respectively to be completed to achieve the Masters.
