COURSES OFFERED BY THE INSTITUTE
Level of Courses:
1. PG2 Masters Degree. Post-graduate course in time and standard, representing a significantly higher stage of accomplishment than the Bachelor's degree. Degrees are structured to investig- ate applied areas of knowledge.
2. PG1 Graduate Diploma Award. Usually requires one year of study full-time or its equivalent following satisfactory completion of a UG 1 or UG2 course. Courses are designed to build specialist skills on an existing tertiary qualification, which might have been gained in a different study area.
3. UG1 Bachelor's Degree. Usually requires a minimum of 3 years full-time tertiary study or its equivalent. Courses in the Schools of Engineering and Law require four years full-time study or its equivalent.
4. UG2 Diploma Award. Usually requires a minimum of three years full-time tertiary study or its equivalent, but the depth of study may be less than for a degree course, and it may be characterised by more emphasis on practical skills than on a theoretical content required for a degree. (Note: Both UG 1 and UG2 courses lead to qualifications recognised as fulfilling the academic requirements for professional practice in the relevant field.)
5. UG3 Associate Diploma Award. Usually requires a minimum of two years full-time study or its equivalent. These tertiary level courses place most emphasis on the acquisition of pract- ical skills and on a general understanding of the field rather than in-depth study. Such courses meet the needs of advancing technology by providing support staff who assist and advise professionally qualified personnel.
6. Certificate Award. Usually requires a minimum of two years full-time study including an additional part-time segment or five years of part-time study. These courses require Grade 10 level of entry. Certificate courses are progressively being phased out and replaced by UG3 awards.

MASTERS COURSES
ASN184 MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE BY RESEARCH & THESIS General
The Queensland Institute of Technology offers degree courses in a broad range of specialities in the School of Applied Science. Graduates from these courses in the fields of biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, computer science, medical technology and physics find employment in industry and the community at large. The initial contribution of the graduate in industry is at a level which requires direct application of his knowledge and expertise to established procedures.
There are also graduates who initially, or after some experience, move into the research and development fields of industry where there is a requirement for a research orientated approach and a level of expertise beyond that of the basic bachelor degree. The Master's degree is offered for graduates who are in this situation and who would clearly benefit from undertaking an individual research programme which makes a contribution to a particular field of applied science.
In the case of a graduate in full time employment, it is expected that his research programme for the Master's degree will contribute to scientific knowledge in the industry of his employment, even to the extent of providing the solution of a particular problem.
The programme is administered jointly by the Academic Boards of the Schools of Applied Science and Health Science through a Graduate Studies Standing Committee.
Unless the context otherwise indicates or requires the words 'Academic Board' and 'school' shall refer to the school in which the student registers.
Objectives of MAppSc Courses
(a) to provide post-graduate educational opportunities in specialised fields of applied science where course· work is not applicable;
(b) to provide further education in research methods for post-graduate students under conditions of close supervision;
(c) to enable graduates employed in industry to undertake further education by research and thesis;
(d) to enable industrial organisations and other external agencies to sponsor a student research programme under the control and supervision of the School of the Institute;
(e) to further the relationships that exist between the Institute and industry or other external agencies engaged in applied science, to their mutual advantage.
Approval of Projects
All projects should be sponsored either by outside agencies such as industry, Government authorities, or professional organisations, or by the Institute itself. The enforcement of this provision is necessary to prevent students entering into a programme of research which might be irrelevant to the aims of this Institute and the community. It is
Masters Courses 151 important that research be firmly directed towards some useful purpose in order to avoid a proliferation of students entering upon an aimless pursuit of research with consequent misuse of Institute facilities and
staff supervision time. '
Application for Entry
Applications shall be accepted subject to the availability of facilities and supervision.
Applications may be lodged with the Registrar at any time.
To qualify for admission to the programme leading to MAppSc by Research and Thesis, applicants shall -
(a) possess a bachelor's degree in Applied Science from the Queensland Institute of Technology; or
(b) possess an equivalent qualification; or
(c) submit such other evidence of qualifications as will satisfy the Academic Board that the applicant possesses the capacity to pursue the course of study.
Additional requirements for admission to a particular programme may be laid down by the Academic Board.
An applicant shall seek admission as -
(a) a full-time student, who will carry out his research on a full-time basis in a department of the School or in his place of employment or in a sponsoring institution; or
(b) a part-time student, who will normally be employed in some other capacity during the day and carry out his research on a part-time basis in a department of the School or in his place of employment or in a sponsoring institution.
Students may be internal or external.
An external student will carry out his programme of work at the place of his employment or in his sponsoring institution. In the case of an external student the Academic Board shall appoint an Associate Supervisor from the student's place of employment or his sponsoring institution.
Additional Information
Further details concerning Registration Procedures, duration of programme of supervision and Thesis requirements may be referred to in the Schools of Health Science and Applied Science Handbooks.

PHN176 MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE - MEDICAL PHYSIC!
Scope of Medical Physics
Novel instrumentation and physical techniques are being introduced int<
wards, clinics, and laboratories. These are based mainly on electronics radioisotopes, data recording and processing, computing technology a well as new techniques such as ultrasonic scanning and thermography Graduates in medical physics are equipped to work in these fields as wel as the longer established fields of radio-therapy, radio-diagnosis an<
radiological protection.
Medical physicists can contribute in the application of scientific concept and methods to the study of the body in health and disease, thi introduction of more precise techniques of investigation and treatment o patients and the full utilization of scientific concepts and technologica resources in every aspect of medical practice. In collaboration witl clinicians, they may be expected to use, calibrate, care, maintain, an<
develop instruments and apparatus used for diagnostic, therapeutic o research purposes. In particular they may be concerned with patien monitoring, measurement and recording and the application of statistics data processing and computers to medicine and medical research Medical physicists also contribute in other areas such as radiologica protection services in industry and the implementation and maintenanc1 of environmental standards of ionizing and non ionizing radiation i1 regulatory bodies such as health departments and national laboratories Career Opportunities
In Australia medical physicists are employed mainly in hospitals, healtl departments and major organisations such as the Australian Radiatior Laboratory and the Australian Atomic Energy Commission. In thei various fields of employment they may be known as medical physicists clinical physicists, health physicists, protection officers or bioengineer but their duties encompass some of those outlined generally above Professional Recognition
Completion of the course entitles the holder of the award to apply fo admission to the Hospital Physicists Association.
Entry Requirements
To be eligible to enrol for the Master of Applied Science - Medica Physics, an applicant must have completed an acceptable tertiary cours1 with a major in physics.
Applicants with other qualifications may be enrolled subject to th1 approval of the Head of the Department of Physics and may be require<
to undertake a bridging programme.
