Medical and radiation physicists work in many fields related to human health to improve quality of life.
They are familiar with aspects of ionising and non-ionising radiation used for radiation medicine.
They are familiar with various forms of therapeutic radiation oncology, different methods of diagnostic radiation imaging, and the mechanisms of how such radiation interacts with the human body.
The Bachelor of Medical and Radiation Physics at UOW is very hands-on, with large practical components in all subjects studied to complement the underlying theoretical physical principles.
To ensure the highest level of industry engagement, professional medical physicists from major hospitals and keynote speakers from the industry will deliver key lectures and practical work and co-supervise research projects.
In the second year, you will gain hands-on experience in photon, neutron and charged particle physics in the undergraduate physics laboratories and make field trips to accelerator facilities such as the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).
In the third year, you will also gain practical experience in electron and X-ray-related medical physics at cancer treatment centres and through ANSTO.
If you continue your studies to an Honours or Master's, you will learn about Nuclear Medicine, Radiobiology and Radiation Protection in hospitals.
In this course, you will gain knowledge in nuclear medicine, radiotherapy physics, radiation transport physics modelling, detector and instrumentation physics, and data analysis.
