New bachelorʼs degree in Radiology and Radiotherapy Techniques
The main news of this year is the presentation of this new degree in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, the bachelorʼs degree in Radiology and Radiotherapy Techniques. With the technical evolution in the field of healthcare, the University of Barcelona is presenting these studies, which account for 240 ECTS, to give a proper answer to the needs of society and the level of responsibility when interacting directly in the field of public healthcare.
This degree is structured into four years. Its professional opportunities are mainly focused on the industrial and health sectors. In this sense, the studies will provide students with specific knowledge to enable them knowing about the processes, machinery and possibilities of radiology.
Radiology appeared as a specialty after discovering X rays in 1895, and is now an essential tool in the healthcare environment and technical applications in industry. The demand of radiology experts responds to needs in the health staff that have increased with the development of radiology and radiotherapy techniques and nuclear medicine, as well as treatment techniques, an important field for medical diagnoses.

Apart from these degrees, the University of Barcelona is presenting new elements in two existing degrees, the degree of Cinematography in ESCAC, replacing the degree in Cinema and Audiovisual Media; and the interuniversity degree in Geological and Environmental Engineering, coordinated by the UPC, which was previously called Geological Engineering, which is now adding new content to the program.
Moreover, the next academic year comes with two dual pathways, the dual degree on Law and Industrial Relations and the one on Law and Criminology.
