MSc
Summary
Why choose this course 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're guaranteed high-quality, effective teaching during your time at Surrey.
There are generous external funding opportunities available for students on this course including the IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme, which aims to help increase the number of women in the nuclear field.
What you will study Our Medical Physics MSc will provide you with the knowledge, skills and experience required of a graduate medical physicist.
This medical physics 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.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree in chemistry, engineering, biomedical engineering or physics, or a recognised equivalent international qualification. We'll also consider relevant work experience if you don't meet these requirements. English language requirements |
