Physics with Medical Imaging, MSci (Hons)

The University of Nottingham's School of Physics and Astronomy boasts a rich legacy of innovation, including Professor Sir Peter Mansfield's Nobel Prize-winning development of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which has benefited over half a billion people globally. Ongoing research in quantum technologies and dark energy addresses critical challenges in neurology and cosmology. Our physics courses provide flexible options, allowing students to explore diverse topics like nanoscience and medical imaging through optional modules, with opportunities to transfer programs after the first year. Extracurricular activities, such as outreach programs and the PhysSoc society, foster skills in communication and teamwork.The accredited MSci in Physics with Medical Physics offers hands-on experience through specialist lectures and modules like Functional Medical Imaging. In the first two years, students build core knowledge in physics and quantum theory, while later years focus on advanced medical physics topics and research projects. The final year emphasizes professional development through immersive learning, group work, and a major project on cutting-edge medical physics issues, guided by expert staff.
