The relative development that took place in health services in the Sudan, and the great technological advances internationally in the field of diagnostic medical imaging.

necessitated a substantial increase in number and quality of Sudanese technicians and technologists specialized in medical imaging, to satisfy the needs of the Sudanese market and to promote performance of (and upgrade) the existing diagnostic medical imaging units.

This program aims at:
1.Preparing qualified graduates in the field of medical imaging technology to satisfy the needs of employment market and development plans.
2.Providing students with theoretical knowledge and practical applications in various aspects of radiological and imaging techniques
3.Qualifying students with the technical skills necessary to operate sophisticated diagnostic imaging equipment, as well as those for simple maintenance, and troubleshooting description.
4.Providing knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to administer diagnostic medical imaging units, and satisfy the requirements of quality control.
5.Acquisition of professional ethics and team-work approach.
6.Provision of theoretical and practical information needed for involvement in research, and evidence based imaging.
7.Development of self education skills that qualify students for further continuous, graduate and self education.

The learning strategies emphasize the following: (1) early acquisition of basic skills,
(2) student-centered learning, and maximum student responsibility in the learning process,
(3) problem-based and problem-oriented learning, (4) community-oriented and community-based activities,
(5) integration of basic science, community and clinical practice in a multidisciplinary approach,
(6) self- and peer education and evaluation,
(7) team-work approach,
(8) a wide range of electives,
(9) continuous evaluation and
(10) continuous education.

The College adopts the following methods in the daily program of activities:
(1) problem-based learning (PBL) sessions- one problem/ week at most,
(2) seminars and small group discussions –once/ week at least
(3) field practice in rural and primary health care settings and societies not less than 1/5^thof the timetable,
(4) practical sessions (laboratory, clinical) not less than 1/4^thof the curriculum timetable,
(5) skill laboratory (weekly) sessions,
(6) lectures -not more than 1/3^rdof the curriculum timetable (not more than 3 lectures/day).
(7) educational assignments, reports and research activities (as many as the program would allow- at least one per module),
(8) electives -not more than 10% of the curriculum timetable.

The college adopts the semester system. Duration of study for the bachelor's degree in radiology (B.Sc. RAD (Honors) is four years divided into eight semesters (3 phases), covering a total of over 160 credit hours. Semesters 1 comprises phase 1- shared with other health specialties. Semester 2, 3 and 4 cover core specialized courses for the B. Sc degrees offered by the college. Semesters 6-8 include clerkship courses mostly spent in imaging units outside the college. A semester is 18-20 weeks in Phase 1 and 2, and 22-24 weeks in Phase 3. There are three compulsory Summar courses and three electives; credit hours of electives are included in the total.
