Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Clinical Technology (With Placement Year) (H901)

Program Description Develop the skills you need for a career as a clinical technologist, capable of applying your knowledge to assist in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients. You will learn:

• to design and manufacture medical equipment • tissue engineering and wound repair for making artificial organs • application, repair and maintenance of medical devices • to carry out physiological measurements, such as ECG, EMG, BMI, spirometry and skin analysis

You will specialise in three areas - renal technology (dialysis), rehabilitation engineering (prosthetics / orthotics), and medical technology/engineering.

Technological innovation in the field of medicine and healthcare is accelerating at an enormous pace. The modern hospital is now the centre of a technologically sophisticated healthcare system, and this requires equally technologically sophisticated staff. This mean you’ll be highly employable as a graduate.
