Courses
The programme has a duration of four years.
The first year serves as an orientation on the complete (4-year) programme and focuses on the responsibilities and tasks you’ll be performing as a Medical Imaging & Radiotherapy professional. Additionally, this year will give you the opportunity to find out whether this course is the right fit for you. You’ll also be working together with students in other paramedical training programmes.
In year 2, you’ll dig deeper into more complex diagnostic modalities and advanced medical imaging devices such as CT, MRI, SPECT. You’ll also learn how to make complex schedules and plans for radiation treatment. Halfway through this second year, you’ll decide on a profile theme to personalise the third and fourth year of the programme. At the end of the second year, you’ll also select a specific type of examination and treatment within the domain of a Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy professional.
You’ll kick off year 3 by exploring the profile theme you chose in the second year. Half of this year will be spent on a 20-week internship at one of the Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy workplaces. The other half of year 3 will be dedicated to a minor. You can choose a minor linked to your profile theme –Fontys offers you a unique opportunity to enrol in a profiling Minor, focusing on one specific healthcare theme and shaping the programme to complement your personal preference. This supports your development towards being a future-proof healthcare professional, while at the same time building a broad network. Of course, you can also enrol in a Minor programme at another University of Applied Sciences outside Fontys, at a University of Applied Sciences abroad, or within a different Fontys programme.
Year 4 will be dedicated to completing another 20-week internship within one of the Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy arenas. You’ll conduct an individual graduation research project aligned with your profile theme as chosen in year 2.
The hospital internships are done in the first year and are a fixed part of the programme.
- In year 1 and 2, you will engage in short orientation internships.
- Year 3 includes the Minor with a 5-month internship.
- In year 4, you’ll combine your graduation internship with your graduation research project.
