Anything to do before the studies?
To enroll in the Bachelor's degree program in Medical Physics, participation in a mathematical self-test is mandatory. The test helps you determine whether it might be useful to refresh your math skills before starting your studies and is intended solely for your own guidance. It is not evaluated by the department. Only participation is required for enrollment. After completing the test, you can download a certificate of participation which you have to upload with your enrollment documents.
What can I expect during my studies?
The program is organized into a series of modules designed to build on one another throughout your studies. Students are encouraged to follow the recommended study plan, which outlines the modules assigned to each semester.
The structure of each module can be reviewed in the module manual. It provides detailed information on all modules offered within the degree program, including course content, examination formats and requirements, as well as requirements for participation.
What’s next after graduation?
I work, e.g.,
- in clinics and medical practices (monitoring and optimizing the use of highly complex equipment, planning radiation therapy)
- Medical technology industry (development, improvement, and testing of new procedures and devices)
- Research and development at research centers and universities
- IT industry/big data (data analysis of medical scans)
- Optics industry/microsystems technology
I work as, e.g.,
- researcher/professor
- medical physicist
- data scientist
After the Bachelor’s studies, the following consecutive Master’s degree program is offered:
M.Sc. Medical Physics and Physics of Living Systems
