    No, a BSc Radiotherapy typically does not confer the title of doctor. In most places, becoming a doctor requires completing a medical degree, such as an MD (Doctor of Medicine) or DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine). 

    However, individuals with a BSc in Radiotherapy may work as radiation therapists, who are healthcare professionals responsible for administering radiation treatments to patients under the supervision of medical doctors, such as radiation oncologists.
