Medical Physics

PROGRAMME LENGTH
MSc 12 months full-time, 24 months part-time
PgDip 9 months full-time
PG Cert 4 months full-time

Aims

Medical physics is the application of physics, electronics and computing to medical problems. There are a large number of specialities such as nuclear medicine, which uses radioactive materials for diagnosis of disease, radiotherapy, which employs linear accelerators to destroy cancerous tissue, as well as medical electronics and magnetic resonance imaging.

The MSc in Medical Physics is the first step towards qualification as a Medical Physicist, providing the student with a knowledge base in all major aspects of physics as applied in the modern clinical/health environment.

The MSc programme has been designed to integrate with the UK NHS's grade-A medical physicist training scheme, and has been accredited for this purpose by the Institute of Physics & Engineering in Medicine.

Requirements

Physical science or Engineering second-class Honours degree.

Syllabus

The MSc programme consists of three terms each lasting approximately 4 months. It is composed of a number of individual Courses.

The first term comprises lectures and practicals covering the whole range of the subject; in the second term students specialise in three areas. The third term is a research-style project.

The PgDip programme comprises the first two terms only, while the PgCert consists of only the first term. Examples of recent MSc projects include:

• Reconstruction filtering of gamma camera PET data
• Multi-leaf collimators in radiotherapy
• Measurement of T1 values in dynamic breast MRI
• Computer analysis of ultrasound scans of the eye

Assessment

The constituent courses of the programme are assessed by continuous assessment (including practical write-ups, essay assignments and student presentations), by written examinations, by assessment of the project work and thesis (MSc only) and by oral examination (MSc only).


Teaching

Teaching is delivered in the form of lectures, tutorials and practical sessions.

Funding

There are a number of bursaries available for entry into the College of Life Sciences & Medicine for September. The bursaries are worth approximately £1000.

Graduates of the University of Aberdeen should apply to the Alumni Discount Scheme. For further information please visit www.abdn.ac.uk/clsm/graduateschool/prospective/scholarships.php

Careers

Past graduates have found employment in a variety of careers, for example: In hospitals, working alongside clinicians in providing scientific and technical expertise and conducting research In universities, working as research assistants, teaching and conducting research, sometimes leading to a PhD In industry, working as research and development scientists or engineers

Professional Accreditation

The Biomedical Sciences degree offered by the University of Aberdeen is NOT accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (IBMS). IBMS accredited courses must focus on the specific vocational training required to pursue a career as a biomedical scientist in a pathology or biomedical laboratory within (or serving) the NHS. The Biomedical Sciences degree programme in Aberdeen aims to underpin a much greater range of potential career choices to our graduates. These would include future individual IBMS accreditation following a further one year conversion course.

Why Choose Aberdeen?

Biomedical Science provides an integrated study of the structure and function of the entire human body. This degree programme has two unique aspects: the scientific content of pre-clinical medicine, plus the opportunity to study cellular processes from this whole-body perspective. It has its own degree regulations and higher entry requirements but students may transfer to other degree schemes at any stage, provided progress requirements are met.

• Provides a thorough grounding in the core medical sciences of human structure and function, and a topic chosen from Physiology, Pharmacology, Molecular Biology, Developmental Biology or Anatomy
• Biomedical scientists in Aberdeen have made major medical advances, including co-discovery of insulin (receiving a Nobel Prize) and discovery of the brain’s morphine-like chemicals
• The integrated course is taught by a School awarded a maximum ‘Excellent’ in the Teaching Quality Assessment Exercise
• The final year ten-week full-time project in research-active laboratories provides a valuable insight into academic research
• Graduates acquire core skills and knowledge vital to the modern workplace, and an ideal training for progress to graduate programmes in medical research, medicine and physiotherapy

Degree Programme Structure & Content

The Biomedical Science programme has its own degree regulations and higher entry requirements but students may transfer to other schemes at any stage, provided progress requirements are met.

First Year

Courses in Chemistry and Medical Sciences, plus optional courses from the normal science programme and other areas.

Second year

Second year covers: Human Gross Anatomy (dissection of human cadaver), Human Physiology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry combined with courses delivering key skills applicable to Biomedical Sciences.

Third Year

A compulsory Molecules, Membranes and Cells course plus specialised courses in Physiology, Pharmacology, Molecular Biology, Developmental Biology or Anatomy.

Fourth Year (Honours)

One half of the year explores Biomedical topics of the chosen specialist topic. The other half comprises a full-time, ten-week research project within a research institution, experiencing original research work in an active environment.

Teaching & Assessment

In the early years, teaching involves attendance at lectures, practicals and tutorials. In the later years a rather greater proportion of the students’ time is taken up with private study involving writing essays and reports and also in laboratory or library work relating to specific projects. The final year incorporates the preparation and presentation of a research-based thesis.

Your Future

This degree primarily prepares graduates to follow careers in science relating to medicine. However, the degree can also be a basis for an application to enter graduate Medicine or Dentistry. At Aberdeen, a student with at least upper second class Honours in Biomedical Sciences may apply via UCAS to study for the MB ChB or BDS degrees. However, the number of places available for graduate entry to Medicine and Dentistry is unpredictable, and the competition extremely fierce. Even students with excellent degrees may not be successful in their applications to study Medicine or Dentistry as a graduate. Thus, students should read a BSc in Biomedical Sciences for its own sake, and not as a possible entry route into Medicine or Dentistry. In addition, transfer after commencing a Biomedical Science degree is not a route into Medicine that can be considered.
