about the programme
Students of the Radiological Technology study programme learn to use ionizing radiation and radionuclide sources in medicine. The programme focuses on radiodiagnostics and imaging methods, oncological treatment with radiotherapy, and the use of radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine. It combines ionizing radiation physics with dosimetry, radiobiology, medicine, and selected specialisations such as medical accelerator physics or software development for processing diagnostic images. Graduates are qualified to work as radiology technicians. These professionals play a vital role in the medical team, assisting in patient diagnosis and in selecting appropriate therapy. During their studies, students attend classes at faculties of medicine and gain practical experience in hospitals.
Programme content
Students will attend core courses focused on:
- clinical training – radiotherapy,
- fundamentals of radiation dosimetry,
- radiation protection.
career prospects
Graduates gain a combination of knowledge in radiation physics, radiation protection, radiobiology, technology, and medical ethics, which allows them to pursue careers in hospitals and other medical institutions. In radiodiagnostic hospital departments, they operate machines such as X-ray and computed tomography scanners, take part in image processing, and perform operational stability tests of instruments. In nuclear medicine, they prepare radiopharmaceuticals and operate machines (for example, gamma cameras and PET scanners). In radiotherapy, they participate in planning treatments, verifying treatment plans, and carrying out patient irradiation. Graduates can also work in research or in companies manufacturing medical machines, detectors, or other equipment.
