Undergraduate study in Medical Imaging
Our undergraduate programme is one of the first of its kind in New Zealand. Read more about our Bachelor of Medical Imaging (Honours).
The Bachelor of Medical Imaging (Honours) is a four-year programme that leads to our students' registration with the New Zealand Medical Radiation Technologists Board (NZMRTB).
This programme is divided into four parts where students will complete a range of medical sciences, medical imaging and clinical imaging courses.
