Key Summary

    About : The Master in Medical Physics focuses on the application of physics principles to medicine, particularly in diagnostics and treatment. The program covers areas like radiation safety, medical imaging, and treatment planning for radiation therapy. You'll gain hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge over two years of study, preparing you for a dynamic field.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers as medical physicists in hospitals, research institutions, and healthcare facilities. There are opportunities in radiation therapy, medical imaging, and radiological safety, allowing for a significant impact on patient care and medical technology advancements.

Master's Degree Programme in Medical Physics is a multidisciplinary two-year master's degree programme that combines high-level research and teaching. The programme is designed for all nationalities, and the teaching language of the program is English.

In the programme, curriculum theory meets practice: The programme includes the possibility for a clinical internship at the Kuopio University Hospital, consisting of e.g. quality assurance measurements, training in radiation dosage planning for cancer treatment and getting familiar with the routine tasks of a medical physicist. The clinical internship can be replaced with a research internship at one of the high-class research groups at the Department of Technical Physics at the University of Eastern Finland.

The master’s programme will equip the student with specialist skills in the field of medical physics. In addition, the course of study will provide the expertise required to pursue a specialization as a medical physicist and can open pathways to further advanced studies and fellowship opportunities.
