The Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Health Sciences have launched an interfaculty degree: BSc(Hons) Physics, Medical Physics & Radiation Protection
You will learn about:
• Physics: Mechanics, Relativity, Nuclear and Particle, Atomic, Solid State…
• Medical Physics in Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology & Dentistry: X-radiography, fluoroscopy, computerized-tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging - physics methods used to ‘see’ structures inside the body without opening up the body!
• Medical Physics in Nuclear Medicine where physics methods are used to check whether body organs are functioning properly!
• Medical Physics in Radiation Oncology (Radiotherapy) where physics methods are used to kill cancer!
• Radiation Protection where physics methods are used to protect medical and industrial workers and the general public from the possible undesirable effects of radiation.
