Overview

The Medical Physics programme from the University of Malta is also an excellent preparation for research in both academia and industry in the above specialties and medical devices and associated physical agents in general.

The programme lasts for three semesters of full-time studies, with the summer semester being entirely dedicated to the research project. This programme was the first Masters in Medical Physics programme in Europe to follow the recommendations of the European Guidelines on the Medical Physics Expert' project in the specialty areas associated with ionising radiation.

Career opportunites and access to further studies

As a graduate holding a Master of Science in Medical Physics, you will be able to enter a career, both locally and internationally (provided that the necessary requirements are met) as a clinical medical physicist in a health care setting. If you would like to further your knowledge, or are interested in contributing your own research to existing literature in the field, then you may choose to enrol in a doctorate programme, which will widen your career opportunities. You will be able to choose from becoming a researcher, an academic, a radiation safety officer, or as an employee in the medical device industry.
