Master of Science - Medical Physics

The syllabus for this MSc in Medical Physics will provide students with the knowledge, skills and experience required of a modern graduate medical physicist.

This course places more emphasis than many other similar programmes on topics beyond ionising radiation (X-rays and radiotherapy), allowing them to study areas such as magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and the use of lasers in medicine.

Students will learn the theoretical foundations of modern imaging and treatments, and they will gain a set of experimental skills that are essential to a modern medical physicist’s job. Students will gain these skills through experimental sessions in this Department of Physics, as well as through practical experiences using advanced clinical facilities at collaborating hospitals.
