Bachelor of Science - Physics with Medical Physics (F350)

This BSc Physics with Medical Physics has been developed in conjunction with the University Hospital of Wales. Specialized modules are given by professional medical physicists from Cardiff University’s School of Medicine.

The course is designed to give students a grounding in physics and a broad introduction to the many specialist areas of medical physics. In the final year they will carry out a research project at the University Hospital of Wales where particular fields of interest are Doppler ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, electrical impedance tomography, radiation physics and body composition measurements.

Students will be part of a friendly and welcoming department currently housed in the Queen’s Building complex, which contains a wide variety of purpose-built laboratories, lecture theatres and computing facilities.

Accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), this course aims to give students a sound training in physics and medical physics in preparation for a wide variety of employment, including industrial or academic research and development, medical physics, education and or other sectors which require a practical, numerate and analytical approach to problem solving, such as business, finance and government.
