Bachelor of Health Care

Radiographer
210 cr / 3,5 years

Graduated radiographers are able to either independently or as a team member carry out x-ray, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and magnetic resonance examinations and work in interventions and nuclear medicine treatments with patients who belong to different age groups and have different diseases. Radiographers are also able to use methods of radiation therapy. In examinations and interventions radiographers are also able to take care and advice the patient according to her/his personal needs. Radiographers know the effects of the radiation and master the safe use of medical radiation and are able to participate in the quality assurance work. Graduated radiographers possess the language skills needed in her/his studies and are capable of performing research and development projects.

The main studies of the degree programme consist of the basic and professional studies in radiography and radiation therapy and methods (the use of radiation, x-ray, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and magnetic resonance examinations, radiation therapy), communicative studies (Finnish, Swedish, English),research and development studies (research and statistics, bachelor’s thesis) and the studies concerning basic skills of social and health care (first aid, microbiology,anatomy). Graduated students are certified as radiographers. Most of the radiographers work in hospitals, health care centres and private clinics. Radiographers are also working in imaging device firms, industry and environmental health care.

The degree programme is based on generic competences and subject specific competences. The studies consist of academic studies and practical training. The theoretical basis of the degree programme is multidisciplinary and it uses the theory of radiography and nursing science, natural, medical, social and behavioral sciences. Students carry out their practical training in health care centres and in the imaging and radiation therapy departments of hospitals. Students learn to know the safe use of radiation in theory lessons already in the beginning of the studies. Part of the studies students can carry out as exchange students. Self-directed learning methods and problem solution skills guide the students learning. Students carry out their studies according to their individual study plans and prepare professional portfolios during their studies. Students can carry out their bachelor’s thesis together with the working life.

Do you want a job in an exciting technological environment and would you at the same time enjoy working with people in an health care profession? This is what a career as a radiographer offers! Radiographers are responsible for all diagnostic image acquisitions at hospitals; i.e. X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The images are subsequently examined by radiologists, specially trained doctors.
As part of their work, radiographers meet patients in all phases of life, often with an urgent need for information, guidance and care. Thus, care and communication abilities are at the heart of the radiographer. At the same time, as the technological development within health care services is intense and growing, it is mandatory that radiographers also have solid skills and competences in these areas, and that they are constantly updated.
Contents of the study

The bachelor of radiography curriculum includes both technological and healthcare subjects. As the radiographer’s responsibilities cover only a small part of health care services as a whole, cooperation with other personnel categories is quite important. The radiography curriculum at Gjøvik University College (GUC) thus puts extra emphasis on issues such as trauma, radiation protection and digital imaging. Other core courses are anatomy, pathology, radiation physics and patient care. For an overview of all courses, see our curriculum at www.hig.no.

GUC use Problem Based Learning (PBL) as our basis teaching method. PBL implies that the students are studying and tutored in smaller groups. Students also are expected to take on a much more active and responsible part of their own education.

The curriculum consists of 2/3 theory and 1/3 practical training. The practical placement is conducted at radiological departments and patient wards within regional hospitals in Hedmark and Oppland counties. During the third curriculum year the students have the opportunity of studying abroad for three months as a part of their education.
Further studies

Gjøvik University College offers continuing education programs for radiographers within digital radiography and image optimization, and in ultrasonography.
Job prospects

Most radiographers tend to work in hospitals, mainly within radiological and/or radiation therapy departments. However, as a radiographer you may also find job opportunities within higher education, among vendors and suppliers of radiological equipment, and even in hardcore industry. There are also possibilities for job positions in other countries.

Duration: 3 years
ECTS credits: 180

The programme qualifies the student for employment as a radiographer through theoretical and practical training. Furthermore, it seeks to promote the student’s personal development and encourage him/her to become a responsible and independent person using advanced technology as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury. Students will gain a broad and basic knowledge as a foundation for further broadening of knowledge, acquisition of skills and specialisation. The programme aims at fostering co-operation, tolerance and understanding of economic and environmental issues
Main Focus of Programme

The programme covers three main fields of study:
Radiographic image production and treatment
Natural sciences
Social sciences
Organisation

The programme is organised as a combination of lectures, group work, individual studies, seminars and practical work. Problem-based Learning (PBL) is the underlying basis for the structure of the programme, which consists of twothirds theoretical and one third practical studies. Most projects, group exercises, seminars, courses, supervised skill-training, and practice are obligatory.
