You can still apply for certain postgraduate courses even if you haven’t completed an undergraduate degree.

We’ll consider non-tertiary qualifications plus paid work experience or professional memberships as the equivalent to a bachelor’s degree for postgraduate entry if you have:

  • completed an Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree plus 4 years full-time paid work experience at managerial or professional level or a professional membership

  • completed a Diploma plus 8 years full-time paid work experience at managerial or professional level or a professional membership

  • completed Year 12 or a Certificate IV plus 10 years full-time paid work experience at managerial or professional level or a professional membership.

Professional memberships must be of an appropriate, recognised professional body in one of the following fields: pharmacy, accounting, speech therapy, urban and regional planning, occupational therapy, actuarial studies, physiotherapy, engineering, law or surveying.

There are non-standard English language requirements for this course. To be eligible you must have an overall IELTS Academic score (or equivalent) of 7.0, with no band score below 7.0. For alternate/equivalent ways of meeting the English requirements for this course please view the English Proficiency Requirements document on the university website.

Other Requirement

Applicants must meet all of the following criteria:

A) a completed bachelor degree in any discipline

B) a minimum of two degree level units of anatomy and physiology.

Applicants who do not meet the minimum of two degree level units of anatomy and physiology can meet these requirements by completion of the following units (as non-award study):

- 6529 Systemic Anatomy and Physiology

- 9808 Regional Anatomy and Physiology

Further information on non-award study is available from https://www.canberra.edu.au/future-students/apply-now/cross-institutional-and-non-award-applications

Admission to this course is competitive. Applications will be assessed on the basis of academic merit and the number of available places.

International applications are accepted at any time. Please refer to the key dates (https://www.canberra.edu.au/future-students/apply-to-uc/key-dates) for further information.

Course Information

An accelerated diagnostic radiography pathway

If you’re a graduate but considering a career change, then the UC Master of Medical Imaging course offers an accelerated learning program that condenses a comprehensive three-year course into an internationally recognised Medical Imaging qualification in only 2.5 years.

Highly focused, engaging and interactive, the UC Master of Imaging course will help you become proficient in diagnostic radiography graduating six months earlier – thus gaining a highly competitive advantage over other similar courses elsewhere.

Successful completion of the course will allow you to apply for registration to practice as a Diagnostic Radiographer from the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) and you’ll be ready to forge ahead in your career as a competent and professional diagnostic radiographer.

The UC Master of Medical Imaging is an approved program of study by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) allowing graduates to gain registration as a diagnostic radiographer for employment in both public hospitals and private radiology practices in any state or territory in Australia and around the world.

The course is highly career-focused and includes ongoing Work Integrated Learning (WIL), offering specialised opportunities across multiple fields of diagnostic radiography, such as general radiography, mammography, angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and medical ultrasound.
