The Master of Medical Physics provides physical scientists with the relevant knowledge and appropriate problem-solving skills suitable for entry into an accredited medical physics training program in radiation oncology, nuclear medicine or diagnostic imaging. A research topic in medical physics examined by dissertation constitutes 25 per cent of the course. The remaining 75 per cent includes required units in anatomy and biology for medical physicists, radiation biology and protection, radiotherapy physics, radiation physics and dosimetry, medical imaging physics, and a combination of level 4/5 optional units and conversion units if required. The course is accredited by the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM), and prepares graduates to enter the ACPSEM Training, Education and Accreditation Program (TEAP) in radiation oncology, diagnostic radiology or nuclear medicine.
