Using physics to diagnose and treat medical conditions is a rapidly expanding and exciting field of study, vitally important to supporting people’s health.
This IOP accredited course is unique in its focus on practice rather than theory. Developed with the University Hospital of Wales (UHW), our medical physics modules are delivered by NHS professionals at UHW and Velindre Cancer Centre.
As well as a broad introduction to the many specialist areas of medical physics, you’ll also gain a solid foundation in core physics.
In the final year, you’ll carry out a 30-credit Medical Physics research project at UHW, Velindre Cancer Centre or the flagship Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) in an exciting area such as Doppler ultrasound, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, diagnostic radiology physics or physiological measurement.
Join us and you’ll not only develop the highly sought-after skills valued inside and outside the medical physics sector, but become part of a welcoming, inclusive community with a dynamic student society.
