Overview

You’ll also learn about the medical techniques and technologies developed by physicists and used in the NHS, such as radiotherapy, ultrasound scanning and MRI machines.

At the start of your Physics with Medical Physics course from University of Sheffield, you’ll cover the essential physics behind everything else you’ll study: heat, motion, electricity, magnetism and quantum mechanics.

Key Features

You will also start to study the human body as a physical machine, and how electronics can be used to model biological systems.

You’ll learn through lectures and practical labs so you won’t be learning about abstract topics in isolation. You’ll run experiments using the equipment in our modern laboratories to help you understand how important theories apply to the real world.
