Physics with Medical Physics MSci (Hons)

In 2003, research undertaken within the School by Professor Sir Peter Mansfield was recognised with a Nobel Prize for the invention of Magnetic Resonance Imaging body scanners. This technology has already helped more than half a billion people worldwide. More recently, our use of quantum technologies to understand how the brain works is changing the way that neurological conditions are detected and treated.This accredited degree with integrated masters will give you real practical experience of medical physics at the Queens Medical Centre hospital. Tailored modules such as Functional Medical Imaging and Molecular Biophysics will help you develop a specialist understanding of this vital area. In the fourth year you will focus on more specialised areas and complete a year-long research project. Under the guidance of our expert staff, you will benefit from a range of learning styles. These include group work, delivering seminars, projects and independent learning.Our teaching has been given the highest rating of 'Gold' (Teaching Excellence Framework 2017). We share our love of physics worldwide through the popular Sixty Symbols YouTube channel.- Accredited by the Institute of Physics- Joint 3rd for research quality in physics in the UK (Research Excellence Framework 2014)- There is flexibility to transfer between most physics degrees after the first year
