- Description/content
- The international Master’s programme in Medical Physics and Physics of Living Systems at TU Dortmund University offers interdisciplinary training at the intersection of physics, biology and medicine.
Students acquire advanced scientific skills and learn to apply physical principles to biomedical challenges – from diagnostics to biotechnology and health technology.
The programme offers two specialisation tracks:
•
Track A – Medical Physics:
This track prepares students for a career as a Medical Physics Expert (MPE) in hospitals or for work in the healthcare industry and related research. The track benefits from strong collaborations with clinics and medical research institutions.
•
Track B – Physics of Living Systems:
This track focuses on applying physics to understand biological systems. Students deepen their knowledge in areas like neuroinformatics, biochemistry, and modern life science methods.
