Overview

Master of Science (Medical Radiation Physics)

The Master of Science (Medical Radiation Physics) is designed for graduates with a preliminary education background in physics, mathematics, biology, or engineering. 

The Medical Radiation Physics (MRP) program is backed by clinical associations with local and Sydney hospitals - over 50% of current practising medical physicists in NSW were educated and trained at UOW

Your lectures in Nuclear Medicine, Radiobiology and Radiation Protection and practical classes will be held in hospitals by practising Medical Physicists and university academics. 

This Master's program comprises 12 coursework subjects and an applied research project under the supervision of professional medical physicists. 

When you study the Medical Radiation Physics program, you will gain an in-depth understanding of technical and theoretical knowledge, complemented with embedded practical work at hospitals and industry to prepare you for a career as a Medical Physicist in:

  • Radiotherapy and nuclear medicine departments in hospitals
  • Radiation protection in industrial and scientific facilities
  • Research, development and commercialisation of radiation medical instrumentation
  • Medical physics instrumentation sales.
