Overview

At the University of Surrey we have trained more than 1,000 medical physicists and we’re accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), so you can look forward to high-quality teaching during your time here.

Career opportunities

The syllabus for the Medical Physics programme  will provide you with the knowledge, skills and experience required of a graduate medical physicist. This course places more emphasis than many other similar programmes on topics beyond ionising radiation (X-rays and radiotherapy), allowing you to study areas such as magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and the use of lasers in medicine. You’ll learn the theoretical foundations of modern imaging and treatments, and you’ll acquire a set of experimental skills that are essential to a medical physicist’s job. You’ll gain these through experimental sessions in our newly refurbished radiation laboratories, as well as through practical experiences using state-of-the-art clinical facilities at collaborating hospitals. As a graduate of this course, you’ll have skills that are highly sought after for working at the interface between physics and medicine, with an emphasis on advanced technologies. Graduates have gone on to work for a wide range of employees, including:
