Physics and Engineering in Medicine by Distance Learning MSc

Combining physics and engineering expertise with clinical science, the skills you’ll learn with this interdisciplinary online Master’s will transform the future of healthcare. Study with the world-renowned UCL Department of Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering – from anywhere in the world.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 online Master’s programme, 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’ll cover a broad and extensive range of medical physics disciplines and activities, selecting optional modules to match your interests in topics such as cancer therapy, medical device enterprise, human-machine interfaces and computing in medicine.The programme is particularly suitable for you if you have a first degree in physics – although an engineering degree is also acceptable. It is ideal if you are looking to develop an interdisciplinary approach to apply your skills in healthcare, and in particular if you're seeking employment as medical physicists in hospital, industry or university environments. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.

A minimum of an upper-second class UK Bachelor’s degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard in physics, engineering, computer science, mathematics, or other closely related discipline. Workplace knowledge and expertise are also considered. Applicants with a lower than upper-second class degree may be invited for a short online interview with programme tutors as part of their application process.
