About the course

On our Medical Physics MSc, which attracts a diverse range of UK and international students, you’ll explore this question, discovering the latest techniques which are extending the limits of medicine. We have trained more than 1,000 medical physicists and we’re accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), so you can look forward to high-quality teaching during your time here. There are generous external funding opportunities available for students on this course. This includes the IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme, which aims to help increase the number of women in the nuclear field, and the Bursary Scheme offered by The Nuclear Industry Benevolent Fund. See Funding for more information.

　　The syllabus for our MSc will provide you with the knowledge, skills and experience required of a graduate medical physicist. Our course places more emphasis than many other similar programmes on topics beyond ionising radiation (X-rays and radiotherapy), allowing you to study areas such as magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and the use of lasers in medicine. You’ll learn the theoretical foundations of modern imaging and treatments, and you’ll acquire a set of experimental skills that are essential to a medical physicist’s job. You’ll gain these through experimental sessions in our newly refurbished radiation laboratories, as well as through practical experiences using state-of-the-art clinical facilities at collaborating hospitals.
