The Master of Science (Medical Radiation Physics) is a program for graduates with preliminary education background in physics, mathematics, biology or engineering who wish to work in public health and related areas, and who have a need for current knowledge and technical expertise in Medical Radiation Physics. This degree: Our Medical Radiation Physics (MRP) program is backed by clinical associations with local and Sydney hospitals - over 50% of current practising medical physicists in NSW were educated and trained at UOW. Our strong ties with industries and government labs ensure you receive significant industry exposure throughout your degree. Your lectures in Nuclear Medicine, Radiobiology and Radiation Protection and practical classes will be held in hospitals by practising Medical Physicists and university academics. You’ll also undertake a significant research thesis component (33–50% of your workload) with joint clinical or industry supervision with partners such as ANSTO, CSIRO and the Australian Synchrotron. You will benefit from the strong collaborative links in research and development that our staff have with local and international companies and leading medical radiation physics institutions.
