Physics with Medical Physics, BSc (Hons)

Join a top 10 UK university for physics (The Guardian Best UK Universities 2024) in the vibrant capital city of Wales. The field of medical physics is rapidly growing, playing a vital role in diagnosing and treating diseases through innovative technologies like MRIs, ultrasound, and radiation tools. Physics contributes significantly to modern medicine, on par with biology and chemistry, by leveraging phenomena such as electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetic radiation. Precise measurements and advancements in computing have driven these developments.Offered in partnership with Cardiff & Vale and Velindre NHS Trusts, the Physics with Medical Physics degree provides a strong foundation in physics, mathematics, and computing, alongside specialized topics including digital medical imaging, medical ultrasound, radiation diagnostics, and human physiology. In the final year, students complete a hospital-based or research project at facilities like Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre. This program prepares graduates for careers in clinical medical physics, research, or roles with international medical equipment firms, and is accredited by the Institute of Physics.
