Overview

Radiotherapy and Oncology (Hons) degree offered at Ulster University is designed to provide vocational education at undergraduate level for careers in therapeutic radiography. Therapeutic Radiography involves the use of ionising radiation in the treatment of cancer.

A therapeutic radiographer is responsible for the planning and delivery of the treatment prescription together with the general healthcare of the patient.
