Credit CSU Credit Policy

Master of Medical Radiation Science (with specialisations)

Upon admission, students are awarded an entry credit package of 32 points (equivalent to four 8-point subjects), 16 points (equivalent
to two 8-point subjects), or zero (0) points. The credit awarded will strictly depend on previous academic qualifications as well as on relevant clinical experience (refer to Field 12, Part B).

Articulation

The Master and the Graduate Diploma [exit point only] make up an articulated set of courses and credit is given in each higher level course for the subjects completed in the lower.

Graduation requirement

Master of Medical Radiation Science (with specialisations)

To graduate students must satisfactorily complete 96 points.

Graduate Diploma of (with specialisations) [exit point only]

To graduate students must satisfactorily complete 64 points.

Course structure

The 96-point Master of Medical Radiation Science program is made up of a generic Master of Medical Radiation Science course and specialisations in Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Radiographic Image Interpretation, Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. Each is run by distance education mode. The CT and MRI specialisations comprise both DE and Internal programs, with the latter catering to targeted groups of international and domestic clientele. The generic course and each DE specialisation consist of core compulsory subjects, along with a small group of restricted electives. In contrast to the specialisations, the generic course has only a small number of core subjects and a large number of restricted electives. The Internal versions of the CT and MRI specialisations only contain compulsory core subjects with no electives.

The generic course and all DE specialisations will have two alternative study pathways, one of which is chosen by the student. These pathways are called the “research option” and the “coursework option”. This option of pathway is not available in the Internal CT and MRI programs. The generic course and all DE specialisations will have three entry levels. These are the zero-point, 16-point and 32-point credit entry levels. These will be referred to as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. The subject points to be earned for a Masters qualification would be: 96 points for Level 1 (zero-point credit entry), 80 subject points for Level 2 (16-point credit entry) and 64 subject points for Level 3 (32-point credit entry). The generic course and all DE specialisations of the Masters course are articulated sets, as they each possess a Graduate Diploma exit point only course. This however, is not the case with the Internal versions of the CT and MRI specialisations, for which there is no Graduate Diploma exit. Students exiting the Masters with a Graduate Diploma will require 64 subject points for Level 1 entry and 48 subject points for Level 2 entry. No Graduate Diploma exit is possible for students with Level 3 entry.

Restricted elective subjects used in the course may be chosen from two banks. These are defined as “Group A” and “Group B”, as discussed in Part A, Field 2.6. The general listings are shown, with the session(s) of offering (Session 1/Session 2/Session 3) of each subject shown in brackets as (1, 2 or 3). Group A consists of subjects taught within the Masters course in different specialisations. These subjects become a restricted elective, when not compulsory in a specialization. The choice of the elective depends on the session and on the specialisation. Conditions that have to be met before doing some elective subjects are indicated. Group B comprises non medical radiation science subjects which have relevance to medical radiation science professionals. These subjects are taught from other schools/faculties.

The combination of the above electives that may be chosen from Groups A and B are defined for each specialization and will be detailed in Enrolment Pattern Section, following.

The structure of each of the five DE Masters specialisations and the generic Master of Medical Radiation Science course, will first be presented. Following this, the structure of the two Internal mode programs within the CT and MRI specialisations will be given. While the latter are classed as versions of the CT and MRI specialisations, they are specially mounted programs for targeted international and domestic clientele and are not alternative pathways for normal DE students entering the CT and MRI specialisations. For this reason they are presented separately.

For the Masters program, there will be different enrolment patterns within the generic course and within each specialisation. These will vary with level of student entrance, with session of entry and with chosen study pathway. Level of entrance will be Level 1 (zero-point credit entry), Level 2 (16-point credit entry) and Level 3 (32-point credit entry). Session of entry will be Session 1 or Session 2, and chosen study pathway will be the Research Option or the Coursework Option. The enrolment pattern for the Graduate Diploma exit program within the generic course and each specialisation will also vary with level of entrance and session of entry. Further, the listing of elective subjects for each enrolment pattern within a specialisation will often differ with session of entry. These will be presented with the enrolment patterns. Appendices 11 and 12 summarise in block diagram form, enrolment patterns for the generic course and each specialisation, for each entry level. Appendix 11 shows enrolment patterns for Session 1 entry into the course, and Appendix 12 for Session 2 entry. (These appendices also show entry criteria for each program).

MRS434 Magnetic Resonance Imaging*
* These Electives are not allowed if they (or their equivalents) have previously been successfully completed at U/G degree level.

Note, that there is no Level 2 Graduate Diploma (RII) program for Session 2 Intake. It is not possible for Session 2 Intake students in Level 2 Master of Medical Radiation Science (Radiographic Image Interpretation) program, to exit with a Graduate Diploma with the minimum required 48 subject points. It is a requirement to complete the key subjects MRS574 , MRS575 and BMS511 to gain a Graduate Diploma in RII. However, these 16-point subjects do not commence in Session 2. Hence an extra 8-point subject would need to be taken in the commencing Session 2. Students are recommended to enrol in Session 1 and follow the Level 2 Graduate Diploma program for Session 1 Intake, if their wish is to exit with a Graduate Diploma. Students should contact the Program Leader if they feel they have to exit the Level 2, Session 2 Intake Masters RII program with a Graduate Diploma.

This program is for onshore students only, and will allow, at Masters level, internal study and formal clinical training in CT, within Australia. The program is being introduced following high demand in certain countries, for Australian clinical training and CT Masters onshore study. International and Australian students doing the Master of Medical Radiation Science (Computed Tomography) by distance education (Specialisation 1, described earlier), will gain their clinical training while on the job and not through a formal clinical placement subject. Hence the two versions of the CT specialisation are tailored to different groups of applicants wanting to gain a Masters qualification in this field.
