This unique program aims to educate medical physicists with interdisciplinary theoretical and practical knowledge and application skills, who are capable of performing clinical tasks as scientists participating in academic and industrial research, developing and operating methods, equipment and measuring devices using modern technologies and monitoring the medical application of ionising and non-ionising radiation and radioactive materials. They will have knowledge of medical imaging, nuclear medicine (diagnostics and therapy), radiotherapy, radiation protection and radiobiology and are able to meet the specific requirements of medical physics.
Admission procedure: (i) Pre-screening of documents (BSc degree in physics or engineering, min. 15 ECTS credits in Mathematics and min. 25 ECTS credits in Physics), motivation and recommendation letter (if available). (ii) Electronic admission test in physics (online). (iii) Online interview in English (after passed written test): knowledge and preparedness, communication skills, motivation and attitude. (iv) Decision: admission to MSc program (min. 70% admission result) / rejection.
