About

The Master of Science (Medical Radiation Physics) is a program for graduates with preliminary education background in physics, who wish to work in public health and related areas, and who have a need for knowledge and technical expertise in medical radiation physics.

Our Medical Radiation Physics (MRP) program is backed by clinical associations with local and Sydney hospitals – over 50% of current practicing medical physicists in NSW were educated and trained at UOW. Our strong ties with industries and government labs ensure you receive significant industry exposure throughout your degree.

Your lectures in Nuclear Medicine, Radiobiology and Radiation Protection and practical classes will be held in hospitals by practicing medical physicists and university academics. You will benefit from the strong collaborative links in research and development that our staff have with local and international companies and leading medical radiation physics institutions.

Admission criteria

  • an undergraguate degree in physics with a minimum weighted average mark (WAM) of 65; OR
  • an undergraduate degree with at least first year university level physics and mathematics, with minimum WAM of 75.
