Can the application of physics concepts, theories and methods save lives? It certainly can. The teaching curriculum of KTU MSc in Medical Physics focuses on the use of ionising radiation for treatment and diagnosis of oncological diseases, and protection of individuals and the environment from unreasonable radiation.

This master's degree program in medical physics is a multidisciplinary two-year master's degree program that combines high-level research and teaching. The program is designed for all nationalities, and a maximum of 15 students will be accepted into it.

You’ll get clinical practice through hands-on instruction with equipment used routinely in the hospital setting, including state-of-the-art MRI and CT facilities, and medical linear accelerators, which will prepare you for research or clinical training in this rapidly changing field. You’ll also get tuition in computer-based modelling, research methodology and the ethical dimensions associated with medical research.

The study program Medical Biophysics is an interdisciplinary branch of science that employs virtually all biological fields and is focused on scientific study and independent research activities in interdisciplinary settings, from natural science up to clinical medical work. This branch of science originated from the need to separate medical applications observing interactions of physical fields and radiation with a living organism from the bulk of technological and biological disciplines. The goal of the study of Medical Biophysics is understanding basic biological processes for development in innovative methods and/or devices for clinical application in diagnosis and therapy. Doctorands, further to their Master's education, are recruited for scientific and research projects at the training institutions and motivated by their Supervising Tutors to solve scientific and research problems of their own. In keeping with the recent developments, the program Medical Biophysics is also focused on the interconnection of the studies with the needs of clinical practice. The program is carried out without any specialization.

The B.S. in Biomedical Physics is an interdisciplinary program developed to provide students pursuing careers in Medical Physics and Health Physics with the necessary background in Physics, Mathematics, and Biology.

Prepare yourself to confront the major biomedical challenges of our time. Our BS in Biomedical Sciences combines core courses in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, psychology, and sociology to prepare you for a career in medicine and for graduate-level study.

If you enjoy biology and physics and want a career in medical technology or health research, Biological and Medical Physics at Waterloo is for you.Run by the Department of Physics and Astronomy — one of the largest and most innovative physics departments in Canada — this flexible and interdisciplinary program is based on a solid foundation of physics, chemistry, and biology. Not to mention that students have the opportunity to gain paid work experience through their co-op work terms.

Radiation Therapists are highly trained medical professionals who collaborate with the Radiation Oncologist to deliver ionizing radiation to patients for the eradication of pathology, primarily cancer. Radiation Therapy practice includes treatment delivery, treatment simulation, medical dosimetry and patient care. These activities require a solid background in anatomy and physiology, physics, chemistry and mathematics to work in this highly specialized and rapidly advancing field.

You’ll gain a broad bioengineering education enhanced by liberal arts courses in life sciences, economics, humanities, social sciences, and global perspectives. You’ll learn to integrate life sciences with engineering to develop solutions for healthcare-related problems as well as computing, design, and engineering systems.

The biophysics major integrates the physical principles that are part of the core material found in a traditional physics major with areas of interest in the life sciences. Offering many possible avenues via molecular/cellular, biomechanical, organismal and/or physiological sequences, the major is appropriate for students interested in attending graduate school in physics or biophysics and provides a solid background for students planning a career in the health fields.

Medical and radiation physicists work in many different fields related to human health in order to improve the quality of life. They are familiar with aspects of ionising and non-ionising radiation used for radiation medicine.

Immerse yourself in an interdisciplinary major that will prepare you to employ the power of physics, chemistry and math to study biological processes, understand how to prevent diseases, design cures or develop novel technologies.
