Browse Programs Admission InformationThe medical physics curriculum is designed to produce professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of physics relevant to the use of radiation in medicine, the ability to think independently, and the skills necessary to conduct innovative scientific research. The training a medical physicist receives in physics enables them to analyze critical systems in a process, identify potential causes, and evaluate the significance of all potential sources of error.
The Master of Medical Physics is a two-year academic program. The program includes theoretical training over three core courses, while the fourth course applies theoretical knowledge through the completion of a final thesis.
First cycle:
- Advanced nuclear physics
- Detection techniques and methods
- Radiation physics and its applications
- Radiation sources
- Biological effects of radiation
- Educational psychology
- Scientific English
Second cycle:
- Ionizing radiation dosimetry
- Simulation and modeling
- Radiation protection
- Laser physics
- Biomedical signal processing
- Computer science and digital technologies
- Research methodology
After completing these two courses for the first year of training, the student obtains a Master's 1 degree in Medical Physics.
Third cycle:
Fourth cycle:
At this stage, the student applies all of his theoretical knowledge by preparing a thesis and discussing it before a committee of professors in the specialty for evaluation.
After completing the last two sessions of the second year of training, the student is awarded a Master's 2 degree in Medical Physics.
The Master's in Medical Physics is a natural continuation of the Bachelor's degree in Radiological Physics. It allows students to acquire the basic theoretical and practical tools in various fields:
- Nuclear Physics
- Physics of Radiation-Matter Interactions
- Atomic and Laser Physics
- Radiation Protection and Dosimetry
- Medical Physics
- Nuclear Technologies
- Medical and Nuclear Imaging
This knowledge will be further developed through the preparation of a doctoral thesis.
To apply to the Master's program in Medical Physics, students must have a bachelor's degree in radiation physics or fundamental physics.
