Advances in physics and engineering are transforming human health, delivering new technologies and positive outcomes across a wide range of medical fields including radiotherapy and medical imaging.


With this Master’s, you can play a part in the future of healthcare, immersing yourself in the theoretical and practical physics underpinning modern medicine, and applying your knowledge to help progress new medical technologies.


You will cover a broad and extensive range of medical physics disciplines and activities, and select optional modules to match your interests in topics such as cancer therapy, medical device enterprise, human-machine interfaces and computing in medicine.


UCL is second in the UK for research power in the Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021). This course comes with access to world-class workshop, laboratory, teaching and clinical facilities across both the university and affiliated teaching hospitals.


You’ll also choose a pathway that leads directly to your academic and career goals with the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) accredited radiation physics pathway, the non-accredited radiation physics pathway, or the biomedical engineering and medical imaging pathway.


You’ll find various opportunities to build your network throughout this Master’s course:


  • Benefit from our national and international collaborations across the clinical, industrial and academic sectors.
  • Close links with many London hospitals, and organisations like the National Physical Laboratory, Institute of Nuclear Medicine, and Institute of Neurology.
  • Network with external partners and explore opportunities to showcase your research output at international conferences, private industry events and clinical centres to potential employers.
  • Build your networks further (and socialise) through clubs and societies at UCL, such as the UCL MedTech Society.
