About the Programme

Master’s studies in radiography are open in the Baltic countries at Tartu Health Care College.

The 2-year Master’s Programme in Radiography (specialisation field Radiotherapy) is aimed at radiographers working in radiotherapy or willing to commence working in the field of radiotherapy.
