NZ Recommend Majors

Medical Imaging is the field of study covering familiar diagnostic techniques such as X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, and nuclear medicine — all of which use specialised equipment to visualise the inside of the body for diagnostic and treatment purposes. A Medical Imaging Technologist (MIT) is a healthcare professional who operates and manages complex radiological equipment, working alongside radiologists to select and perform the most appropriate examination for each patient. Because registered Medical Imaging Technologists in New Zealand have the opportunity to work in Australia, the UK, and other countries around the world after graduation, this is a field with strong career prospects. As New Zealand’s Bachelor of Medical Imaging programmes accept only a limited number of international students, it is one of the most competitive health science majors. An interview is a mandatory part of the admission process for the Medical Imaging programmes at the universities introduced below.
