Master of Physics: Medical Physics

Course description, features and facilities The Master of Physics, with a specialisation in Medical Physics, consists of an equal combination of advanced coursework and a research project and dissertation. The research project is undertaken as part of an internationally recognised research group.
This course is intended to give physical scientists the relevant knowledge and appropriate problem solving skills suitable for entry into an accredited medical physics training program in radiation oncology, nuclear medicine or radiology. Students will undertake a research project on an appropriate medical physics topic that will develop their independent research and analytical abilities and expose them to current diagnostic and therapeutic technologies used in the medical system.
A series of focused coursework units will provide students with relevant background knowledge in topics such as human biology, radiation protection, radiobiology, medical imaging and radiotherapy.
Students must nominate a specialisation on application, the Master of Physics has specialisations in;
