COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science Advanced (EIS) (Honours) with a major in Medical and Radiation Physics is a 192 credit point undergraduate degree designed to prepare students for advanced careers in medical physics, healthcare technology, and scientific research. The program provides a strong foundation in physics and mathematics in the first year, followed by progressively specialised study in applied and medical physics. In the first year, students complete core subjects including Fundamentals of Physics A and B, along with foundational mathematics covering algebra, differential calculus, integral calculus, and series, which develop essential analytical and problem-solving skills. In the second year, students move into more advanced topics such as modern physics, electromagnetism and optoelectronics, and engineering mathematics and statistics, building a deeper understanding of physical principles and their applications. In the third year, students complete a capstone project that integrates their knowledge and allows them to investigate a focused problem in medical or radiation physics under academic supervision. The curriculum is embedded within the common core structure of the science advanced program, ensuring consistent development of theoretical and applied competencies. Overall, this degree prepares graduates for careers in hospitals, medical imaging departments, cancer treatment facilities, research institutions, and regulatory organisations, while also providing a strong pathway to postgraduate study in medical physics and related scientific disciplines.
