Year four

Year 4

The fourth year of the MIRT programme consists of a semester-long internship and a graduation project that also lasts a semester. 


Internship 2  

During the internship, the student will apply the knowledge and skills learned in the first three years in a practical setting for a longer period of time. The internship in year 4 takes place in a radiology department, a nuclear medicine department or a radiotherapy department (other than internship 1). The student learns to perform medical examinations and/or treatments on patients in a healthcare setting. With regard to the level, a higher level is expected than for internship 1 in terms of the patient, cooperation, communication and extent to which the student is able to reflect. 


Graduation project 

The aim of the graduation phase for student is to finish the education and to become a competent, futureproof professional. The student does this by working on a project that demonstrate he  achieved the learning outcomes of the graduation phase.  

During the graduation project, the student scientifically researches a relevant issue. The student sets up a scientifically acceptable methodology, including an ethics component. The results are presented clearly and the student critically considers these results and his/her own research.
