MSc Medical Physics
The aim of this programme is to provide an understanding of the application of physics and technology to a range of disciplines within medical physics at a level appropriate for a professional physicist and to equip you for employment in a clinical environment.
WHY THIS PROGRAMME
- A key strength of this programme is that you will be taught mostly by physicists working in the NHS.
- Due to the large size of the NHS medical physics department in Glasgow, all mainstream areas of medical physics are covered along with some specialised e programme is accredited with the Institute of Physics & Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), the UK professional body for medical physicists.
- The department has access to 1.5, 3 and 7 Tesla MRI, PET scanning, a cyclotron, dedicated SPECT, and has its own radioisotope dispensary.
- Your lecturers are operating at the forefront of the profession with a balance of research and clinical practice, perfect for studying medical science.
- The research component of this programme allows you to develop valuable skills for practising and interpreting research.
- We draw on expert resources within the wider university for anatomy, statistics and the two optional courses.
CAREER PROSPECTS
Career opportunities include positions in:
- NHS
- Private healthcare
- Equipment manufacturers
This is the course followed by the NHS trainees in Scotland so it is highly attuned to preparing the successful student for employment.
