Program overview
Radiology might sound a bit mysterious, but it's actually all about using X-rays, CT, MRI, and radiotherapy to help doctors diagnose and treat diseases. Simply put, you'll learn how to safely apply "radiation" in medicine. Core courses include radiation physics, radiation biology, medical imaging, tumor radiotherapy, and radiation protection. You'll get hands-on with operating equipment, interpreting images, designing treatment plans, and understanding human anatomy and pathology. This major is perfect for students who are interested in both physics and biology, enjoy hands-on work, and want to interact with patients. Chinese universities have a clear advantage here: many affiliated hospitals have advanced radiotherapy equipment and imaging centers, so you can work directly with clinical cases—places like Peking Union Medical College, Fudan University, and Sun Yat-sen University offer rich internship opportunities. Plus, China is rapidly advancing in nuclear medicine and proton therapy, giving international students access to cutting-edge technology.
