这是一个物理学位，与爱尔兰的医疗器械行业以及医学物理和生物工程界共同开发，并获得了物理研究所的认可。医学诊断，技术和治疗的许多重要方面均以物理学为基础。考虑一下X射线，超声，磁共振成像，CT扫描和放射治疗肿瘤。物理对所有这些至关重要。在医院或行业环境中，新医学技术的开发或应用方面，医学物理学家和生物工程师在医学研究团队中扮演着至关重要的角色，并且经常发挥领导作用。
This is a Physics degree which has been developed in partnership with both the Medical Device Industry and the Medical Physics and Bioengineering community in Ireland and is accredited by the Institute of Physics. Many important aspects of medical diagnostics, technology and treatment are underpinned by physics. Think of x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans and treatment of tumours with radiation. Physics is crucial to all of these. Medical physicists and bioengineers play a vital and often leading role on the medical research team in terms of the development or application of new medical technology in a hospital or industry environment.
