The syllabus for the MSc Medical Physics is designed to provide the knowledge, skills and experience required for a modern graduate medical physicist.

It places more emphasis than many other 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 underpinning modern imaging and treatment modalities, and will gain a set of experimental skills essential in a modern medical physicistÕs job. These skills are gained through experimental sessions in the Department of Physics and practical experiences at collaborating hospitals using state-of-the-art clinical facilities.
