Master of Science specialising in Medical Radiation Physics
Adelaide University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 04249J
The Master of Science specialising in Medical Radiation Physics will advance your knowledge in the medical application of physics principles. Focus on the use of radiation for diagnosing and treating diseases. Through theoretical application, you'll learn how to minimise patient risk and optimise radiation dose delivery. Build a deeper understanding of the anatomy and physiology of organs, crucial to understanding the effects of treatment. Embark on a scientific research project, deep diving into a specialised clinical area of interest under the guidance of academics in the field. Our degree also provides a strong foundation of knowledge and skills necessary for undertaking additional study and clinical training in this area. You'll graduate ready to begin the journey of improving and developing cancer diagnoses and treatments. Enhance patient outcomes and take part in the growing and cutting-edge global proton therapy market.
