- Description/content
- The Master’s programme in Medical Physics offers you the opportunity to combine cutting-edge physics with real clinical impact. You'll gain advanced physical knowledge and apply it directly in medical diagnostics and therapy. A balanced curriculum blends theory with hands-on experience, supported by leading clinical partners who bring real-world challenges into the classroom.
What truly sets this programme apart? It prepares you for one of the most in-demand roles in modern healthcare: the board-certified Medical Physics Expert (MPE). In addition to your Master’s degree, you’ll receive five radiation protection certificates issued by official state authorities — key building blocks for professional certification after two years of clinical experience. That means fewer hurdles, faster progress, and a clear path into a meaningful clinical career.
Whether you aim to work in hospitals, research, or medical technology innovation, this programme puts you at the interface of science, technology, and patient care.
