Are you interested in research and development in molecular imaging and tumour therapy? As a student in the Master's programme in Medical Nuclide Techniques, you will obtain in-depth knowledge about the use of radionuclides in research and healthcare. You will follow the process of developing radiolabeled drugs for advanced imaging and therapy and this in-depth knowledge in a multidisciplinary area prepares you for a career in research or drug development. The development of radioactive compounds for preclinical research, medical imaging or tumour therapy requires competence in several areas. In the Master's programme in Medical Nuclide Techniques, you will: learn methods and technologies for producing, assessing and measuring ionising radiation; study physical and biological aspects of ionising radiation, including sources of radiation, measurements and estimates of radiation effects and risks; study strategies for compound development, labelling techniques, testing and evaluation of radionuclide-labelled compounds aimed for in vitro and in vivo (PET, SPECT) research and clinical practice; do an independent project in a research group at an academic department, in a company or another agency in Sweden or abroad. Further studies also involve the function and application of detect
A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. The main field of study must be medicine, pharmacy, physics, radiophysics, chemistry, biology, or a similar field of study.
Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries.
