Admission Requirements

A candidate with a BSc or its equivalent (as approved by Senate) with majors in two of the following disciplines can apply: Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Other majors with second year level Mathematics will also be considered. Admission may also be gained through the principle of RPL (Recognition of prior Learning) with proven record of appropriate expertise, as approved by Senate.

Duration

Candidates for the BSc Honours degree in Applied Radiation Science and Technology must be registered for a minimum period of two semesters of full-time study registration.
