Radiation Physics is a vital field of medicine requiring a high level of responsibility and technical skill. As a radiation physics technologist, you will use sophisticated equipment to measure and calculate the doses of radiation received by patients during treatment and by the staff delivering it. You will learn about the clinical uses of x-rays, radioactive materials, lasers, and ultraviolet radiation in imaging patients, diagnosing and treating disease, and monitoring patients’ response to treatment. Our excellent facilities include a realistic clinical suite so you can put your theoretical knowledge into practice in an environment that reflects as closely as possible the actual conditions that you will experience when you go on placement. TYPICAL MODULES INCLUDE: Year 1 • Anatomy and Physiology • Mathematics and Physics for Healthcare Science • Informatics and Statistics • Pathophysiology • Scientific Basis of Medical Physics
Year 2 • Instrumentation Signal Processing and Imaging • Medical Equipment Lifecycle • Medical Imaging • Non-ionising Radiation and Physiological Measurements • Practice of Radiation Protection Year 3 • Framework of Radiation Governance and Risk Management • Research Project • Practice of Radiation Physics • Professional Practice
