Overview
The MSc in Medical Physics with Radiobiology is a one-year, full-time course delivered by world-leading academics and clinical scientists. The main aim of this course is to discuss how ionizing and non-ionizing radiation are used in clinical practice, both in the context of radiotherapy and medical imaging. This is combined with principles of radiobiology at molecular and cellular level, to give graduates a better understanding of the effects of radiation than is achieved in other medical physics courses. The course is accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM).
Training and development
You will take eight compulsory modules, which are delivered in two-week blocks, following on from each other:
* Physics of Radiation Interactions
* Molecular Radiation Biology
* Radiobiology of Cells and Tissues
* Radiation Safety
* Ionizing Radiation Imaging Technologies
* Radiation Therapy Physics
* Non-ionizing Radiation Technologies
* Translational Research Methods and Applications
Graduate schemes
This course is designed for individuals interested in careers in medical physics from either a clinical or academic research perspective, or in professions that require a knowledge of medical physics, such as radiation protection.
