Course overview

As a nuclear medicine scientist, you’ll apply medical imaging technologies and radioactive chemical compounds (called radiopharmaceuticals) to image the function or physiology of the body. Nuclear medicine scientists use this knowledge to diagnose, treat and manage injuries and diseases such as sports injuries, cardiovascular disease, and cancer in patients across their lifespan.

The University of Newcastle is the largest trainer of nuclear medicine technologists/scientists in Australia, and by studying here you will have access to a world-class and purpose-built radiopharmacy lab.

Students should be aware that they may be required to undertake clinical placement and/or classes outside normal semester dates. Students enrolling in this degree are required to obtain a WorkCover-approved Provide First Aid Certificate during semester one.
