MSc Physics and Engineering in Medicine

The Physics and Engineering in Medicine MSc offered by UCL (University College London) is an advanced program that provides a comprehensive education in the field of medical physics and biomedical engineering. Derived from the popular research-led BSc program, this course integrates the necessary fundamental elements with the applied aspect of these disciplines.Course Content: The programme focuses on the medical uses of radiation and the equipment involved, the physiology, biology, and engineering of the human body, and the importance of imaging to diagnosis. As a full-time student, you would need to spend approximately 36–38 hours per week working toward your MSc. The part-time schedule is approximately half this, based on a two-year completion time.Key Modules: The course is divided into several modules, each of which is carefully designed to equip students with specific professional skills. Key modules include Radiation Physics, Imaging with Ionising Radiation, Biomedical Ultrasound, MRI & Biomedical Optics, Biomedical Electronics & Instrumentation, Mathematical & Statistical Methods, Artificial Intelligence in Medicines, and Anatomy, Physiology & Instrumentation.Accreditations: The course is accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM).Future Careers: Graduates are well equipped to enter a career or research in the field of medical physics and biomedical engineering in a hospital or industry setting, or to pursue a PhD.
