Shoroma, who earned four distinctions including one in Life Sciences, expressed confidence in her application to the Bachelor of Radiography in Diagnostic program.
A Long-Held Aspiration
Shoroma’s interest in the health sciences began in primary school, but her focus narrowed to radiography in Grade 8. A career day event featuring representatives from TUT’s Faculty of Science introduced her to the field. She stated, “I learnt about radiography that day and I decided it was the field I would like to pursue when I finish school.”
Choosing a Leading Program
According to Shoroma, TUT’s radiography course is considered one of the best in the country. She explained her decision to attend TUT, saying, “If you want to be the best; you must learn from the best.” Shoroma matriculated from Jeppe Education Centre in 2025.
Shoroma’s academic journey could continue beyond the bachelor’s degree, as she has expressed a desire to pursue radiography studies up to the PhD level. It is possible she will contribute to advancements in diagnostic imaging through research and practice. Her success in the program may also inspire others to consider careers in the health sciences.
