The medical radiation physics major is for graduates with preliminary education background in physics who wish to work in public health and related areas, and who have a need for current knowledge and technical expertise in radiation oncology and diagnostic imaging medical physics.
Your lectures in nuclear medicine, radiobiology and radiation protection and practical classes will be held in hospitals by practising medical physicists and university academics.
Our medical radiation physics (MRP) program is backed by clinical associations with numerous hospitals. UOW’s medical radiation physics education and training program is the largest in the southern hemisphere. Our strong ties with industries and government labs ensure you receive significant industry exposure throughout your degree.
The Master of Science (Medical Radiation Physics) is accredited by the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM), and the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc. (CAMPEP) - the first accredited program outside of North America.
See the course handbook for more information.
