Medical physics is the application of physics to the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of human diseases. It is a vast and expanding field covering everything from the physics of the human body, nuclear medicine, and medical scanning and diagnosis using tools such as MRI, x-rays and ultrasound. Studying this course gives you the opportunity to be at the forefront of this exciting and rapidly growing area, contributing to improvements in human healthcare and well-being.<br/><br/>You’ll study a solid core of mainstream physics, specialising in medical physics. This course covers fundamental topics including mathematics, classical and quantum mechanics, wave phenomena, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics, properties of matter, and programming, developing and applying these concepts to the human body, medical diagnostic imaging, therapy, and nuclear medicine.<br/><br/>Personalise your course so it truly feels like your own. At every stage of your studies you’ll get the opportunity to focus on specialist projects and explore case studies in topics that interest you and suit your career path.<br/><br/>Develop investigative, experimental, mathematical, computational, and other transferable skills. Our courses are carefully designed to produce numerate and articulate graduates who are very attractive to future employers.<br/><br/>Immerse yourself in experiences which support your learning and personal development. You might go on a fieldtrip to a theme park to study the physics of rollercoasters, visit relevant employers to engage with real work-like experiences, take part in dedicated employability sessions tailored to your career path, and have access to our resilience building workshops.
