Background

There has been an ongoing shortage of Diagnostic Radiographers in Hong Kong. The recent years’ outflow rate ranges from 8-20%.  The impact on the medical imaging services is particularly serious as the number of Diagnostic Radiographers has always been small as compared with other healthcare disciplines. Facing the shortage of radiography profession workforce, TWC established Hong Kong’s first self-financing Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Medical Imaging programme (BSc (MI)) to meet the societal demands and for the benefits of the society. The new BSc (MI) programme will be launched in the new academic year 2024/2025 from September 2024.

The College will provide 5 Special Entrance Scholarships with the amount of HK$60,000 (each) to 5 local students admitted to the BSc (MI) programme with the highest HKDSE scores or equivalent upon the 2024/2025 entry.
