Master in Physics with Medical Physics MSci

At University of Birmingham, England, tuition is £29,160.

The programme integrates a dedicated Introduction to Medical Physics module early in the course, giving students direct exposure to the principles of imaging and radiation used in healthcare. The structure moves from core physics foundations in the first two years, through specialised medical physics and research projects in later stages, with increasing laboratory and computational work.

It is aimed at candidates who have strong A-level or equivalent qualifications in physics and mathematics and wish to apply physical science to medical contexts. Graduates are prepared for roles in medical imaging, radiotherapy, research and further study.

• Core modules include Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Quantum Mechanics and an Introduction to Medical Physics.
• Specialised modules such as Medical Imaging, Radiation and Relativity, and a Medical Physics Project.
• Extensive laboratory components and scientific computing labs throughout the degree.
