Hello! Radiology is a branch of medicine, which means you need to do a medicine degree, 2 foundation years, and then specialise in radiology. if you want to do medicine, ideal subjects would be Biology, Chemistry, Maths or Psychology
If you want to do Diagnostic Radiography, ideal subjects would be Biology, Physics, Maths, etc.

Hello, I’m starting a radiography degree this year. And I did an applied Science extended diploma. So yes it is very possible to do radiography with your course! Good luck in making your decision 🙂

A radiologist will have studied medicine and then specialised to become a radiologist. They will use imaging to diagnose and treat medical conditions. A diagnostic radiographer, in very simple terms, is largely responsible for taking the images using a variety of machines (X-ray, MRI, CT, etc.) to diagnose patients. Both roles are explained in more detail here:
