Department of Radiography and Radiation Science Brief History

In the past few decades, there has been rapid technological advancement, progress in sophistication and diversity of medical imaging equipment. This requires the harnessing of scientific knowledge, application and expertise to deliver modern diagnosis and therapy through radiography, radiotherapy and imaging sciences. This can only be achieved with an enhanced university level modern scientific training. Bachelor of Science degree in Radiography and Radiation Sciences Programme strives to produce highly skilled professionals that can confidently deliver required modern treatment and compete with their counterparts all over the world. In line with the university core values the program is aimed at producing radiographers with wholistic approach to healthcare delivery where excellence, compassion and innovation are the hallmark

Department of Radiography and Radiation Sciences was established in 2018/2019 session in keeping with the regulations of National University Commission (NUC) and full participation of Radiographers Registration Board (RRBN). The department was established along with the College of Health Science of Evangel University.

The department sets a high priority on exchange of ideas related to radiography education and research with major focus on production of outstanding graduate radiographers with high degree of competence and safety in the practice of radiography at primary, secondary and tertiary levels of health care delivery. It prepares graduates to be confident members of health care team as well as competent supervisors of Radiography entrepreneurship and other clinical settings. They are also trained to take their rightful places in research centres and industries.
