Course summary

The aim of this programme is to provide an understanding of the application of physics and technology to a range of disciplines within medical physics at a level appropriate for a professional physicist and to equip you for employment in a clinical environment. WHY THIS PROGRAMME

  • Joint 1st in the UK for Medicine (Complete University Guide UK 2021).
  • A key strength of this programme is that you will be taught mostly by physicists working in the NHS.
  • Due to the large size of the NHS medical physics department in Glasgow, all mainstream areas of medical physics are covered along with some specialised fields.
For example we have expertise in: Ionising radiation Specialist sections in PET Scanning Ophthalmology Urology Informatics Leading researchers in MRI
  • Accredited with the Institute of Physics & Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), the UK professional body for medical physicists.
  • The department has access to:
1.5, 3 and 7 Tesla MRI PET scanning a cyclotron dedicated SPECT its own radioisotope dispensary.
  • Your lecturers are operating at the forefront of the profession with a balance of research and clinical practice, perfect for studying medical science.
  • The research component of this programme allows you to develop valuable skills for practising and interpreting research.
  • We draw on expert resources within the wider university for anatomy, statistics and the two optional courses.
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE The programme involves attending lectures, seminars and tutorials, taking part in e-learning and undertaking a research project.
