Physics, Medical Physics and Radiation Protection (Hons) University of Malta

Overview

Students in the  Physics, Medical Physics and Radiation Protection (Hons) course from University of Malta  will acquire knowledge and cognitive and practical skills through the study of course material, participation in discussions, physics practical work, computational tasks, project work, demonstrations of practical onsite medical physics and radiation protection practices and participation in medical physics and radiation protection practice placements in hospital. 

Students will study with students from both the Faculty of Science and also from the Faculty of Health Sciences to ensure that they are capable of bridging the gap between pure and applied physics. The course is future looking and very multidisciplinary and includes not only physics, mathematics, medical physics and radiation protection but also essential anatomy, physiology, ICT, ethics, management and legal issues.
