4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Physics with Medical Applications

Physics research is helping humans live longer, healthier lives. It is helping humans develop new cures for disease and new ways to quickly diagnose health problems. For example, particle beams and detectors used in physics research have led to the development of proton cancer therapies and new diagnostic imaging technologies. Combining the study of physics and selected topics in medical applications, this University of Liverpool programme provides skills such as numeracy, problem-solving, reasoning and communication that are attractive to the general employer, and it is an excellent preparation for a career in medical physics. 

In addition to core physics modules students will also take mathematics, computing and experimental physics modules in support of these studies. There is a project on a medical physics topic in Year Three with involvement from the local hospitals and medical research centres. Staff from these institutions will also be involved with teaching.
