Duration
1 Year
The syllabus for our MSc in Medical Physics will provide you with the knowledge, skills and experience required for a modern graduate medical physicist.
It places more emphasis than many other similar courses on topics beyond ionising radiation (X-rays and radiotherapy) to include, amongst other topics, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and the use of lasers in medicine.
You will learn the theoretical foundations of modern imaging and treatments, and you will gain a set of experimental skills essential in a modern medical physicist’s job. These skills are gained through experimental sessions in our Department of Physics and through practical experiences at collaborating hospitals using advanced clinical facilities.
