This program combines a research initiative with five specialized courses focused on health physics, radiation safety, and medical physics. The interdisciplinary curriculum covers: radiation therapy, diagnostic imaging techniques including nuclear medicine, CT scans and MRI, radiation shielding, as well as human anatomy and physiology.
Accredited by the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM), this postgraduate program fulfills a mandatory requirement for medical physicist certification. Students can pursue research in any modern medical or health physics field matching their interests, working alongside our network of partner institutions. The research culminates in a thesis, potentially incorporating published works.
Earning this master's degree creates pathways to PhD programs and prepares graduates for advanced research, leadership, and management roles across government agencies, NGOs, and private sector organizations.
