The Physics with Medical Applications MPhys at Queen's University Belfast is designed for ambitious students keen to explore the intersection of fundamental physics and cutting-edge medical technology. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of experimental, theoretical, and computational physics, alongside applied mathematics, preparing you to address complex challenges in 21st-century medicine. This undergraduate degree is ideal for those who wish to apply the principles of physics to areas such as medical imaging, radiation therapy, and diagnostic techniques, leveraging the institution's strong research environment.
This full-time, on-campus MPhys programme spans four years, with each stage building upon the last. You will develop advanced laboratory skills through rigorous experimental work and simulations, and in later years, you will have the opportunity to undertake a significant computational project or even a research project with an external organisation, potentially leading to publications. You will graduate with a deep understanding of physics and its medical applications, ready for careers as medical physicists or in related scientific research and development roles.
