Masters (Coursework)
This program is assessed by both a research project and the completion of five courses.
The research project is in medical or health physics, and is examined by thesis.
The coursework is vocationally relevant to radiotherapy, diagnostic imaging, radiation protection and health physics, and is available in online mode.
You will complete Research Methods for Sciences in your first semester. Four other courses will be undertaken in subsequent semesters.
The program is accredited by the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM) as an approved postgraduate qualification forming a compulsory component of the requirements to become a certified medical physicist.
Research activities are conducted within related research institutes and groups including the Applied Electromagnetics and Radiation Physics Research Group.
You will use state-of-the-art equipment and facilities including:
You will also have access to partner organisation facilities including Medical Linear Accelerators, CT & MR Imaging and the Australian Synchrotron.
The minimum requirements for admission to a master by research program are:
At RMIT a grade of credit represents academic achievement of 60% or higher.
None
These entrance requirements are the minimum academic standard you must meet in order to be eligible to apply for the program. You will need to complete a selection task as part of your application.
In addition to support materials required for all postgraduate research applications, applicants to the MFA by Research and PhD Art are required to submit a folio of selected creative works. Please refer to How to apply - entry requirements for more information.
The School of Art does not accept applications to its research programs before a potential applicant has satisfied a Pre-application Process, which should be completed before lodging a formal application with RMIT's School of Graduate Research, or with RMIT International.

The minimum requirements for admission to a master by research program are:
At RMIT a grade of credit represents academic achievement of 60% or higher.
None
You must attach a substantive research proposal that is 2 to 5 pages in length which articulates the intent, significance and originality of the proposed topic using the following headings:
a) title / topic
b) research questions to be investigated in the context of existing research/literature in the area
c) significance and impact of the research
d) methodology / research tasks required to undertake the research
e) particular needs (e.g. resources, facilities, fieldwork or equipment that are necessary for your proposed research program, if applicable)
Your application will not be considered if you have not discussed your research topic with a proposed senior and associate supervisor or joint senior supervisors. You must provide the names of the academic staff in the school you have applied to and with whom you have discussed your proposed research.
