Master of Science [M.S] [Medical Physics] From National University of Ireland, Galway

The course is unique in that it is closely integrated with the University Hospital Galway.The majority of lectures and course materials are delivered by hospital staff.The course provides a unique opportunity to see the operation of a busy academic hospital.The MSc consists of a fairly intense programme of lectures, workshops, laboratory sessions, tutorials and self-directed learning, followed by a four to five-month research project. The syllabus contains modules covering traditional Medical Physics topics, such as Radiation Fundamentals, and Hospital and Radiation Safety, but also provides an introduction to other areas like Clinical Instrumentation, Modules in Anatomy, Physiology, Medical Informatics and Safety and Risk Management. The course is accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) and is, therefore, recognised as a component of IPEM professional training.
