Bachelor of Medical Imaging (Honours)

Bachelor of Medical Imaging (Honours) is a Semester One (1 March); Semester One (28 February) Bachelor program taught at University of Auckland, New Zealand. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (Full-time: 4 years) options.

The Bachelor of Medical Imaging (Honours) (BMedImag(Hons)) at the University of Auckland prepares students through hands-on clinical experiences. In years 2 to 4 (Parts II to IV), students 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.

Students gain clinical experience in simulation labs, hospitals, and private radiology facilities. In Part IV, students produce a final-year dissertation through Research in Medical Imaging that develops analytical and research skills. Most students also take one General Education course.
