Advances in physics and engineering are transforming human health, delivering new technologies and positive outcomes across a wide range of medical fields including radiotherapy and medical imaging.
With this Master’s, you can play a part in the future of healthcare, immersing yourself in the theoretical and practical physics underpinning modern medicine, and applying your knowledge to help progress new medical technologies.
You will cover a broad and extensive range of medical physics disciplines and activities, and select optional modules to match your interests in topics such as cancer therapy, medical device enterprise, human-machine interfaces and computing in medicine.
As a postgraduate student here at UCL Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, you’ll develop a robust set of valuable, cross-disciplinary skills and knowledge you’ll be able to deploy in a wide variety of industry and healthcare environments.
Working alongside world-leading scientists, engineers and health professionals, you’ll also learn project management, communication and teamworking skills, making you an asset to any organisation.
By the end of this Master’s, you’ll be well placed to pursue diverse careers and opportunities from doctoral research to roles in industry and positions that contribute to emerging technologies such as the use of AI in healthcare.
Your expertise will be relevant in both private and public healthcare. Graduates of this Master’s can go on to technical or strategic roles in hospitals either overseas or here in the UK.
Alternatively, you could explore research and development roles in industry settings, designing and implementing new technologies within multinational medical device companies or MedTech start-ups.
