Please refer to The University of Winnipeg - Pre-Radiation Therapy factsheet for more information on the 4-year B.Sc. in Radiation Therapy.

This is a competency-based program; therefore, courses include the concepts and theories behind radiation therapy (including physics, radiation biology and protection and imaging), patient care and professional practice. In clinical placements, students work side-by-side with practicing radiation therapists to learn the skills and attitudes required to be successful in this career.
