本课程侧重于物理在临床医学中的应用。在开发医疗应用方面的特定专业知识时，您将获得对物理学的广泛而基础的理解。您将了解人体，其解剖结构，生理学和生物化学，并探索其作为物理机器的性能。其他主题包括感官的物理学。您还将研究诊断和治疗应用，例如心电图，放射物理学，X射线技术，超声和磁共振成像。医学物理学模块由心血管科学系的医学物理学小组教授。您的学习将扎根于NHS，该部门在该部门提供日常临床服务。您将与执业的医学物理学家或工程师一起完成实习，并将更深入地研究高级物理学主题。<br> <br> MPhys（荣誉）物
On this course, youll learn about the physics that keeps us alive the fluid mechanics behind blood flow, the forces acting on bones and tissues and the technologies managed by medical physicists in the NHS. In your final year, youll complete a work placement to help you prepare for a career as a medical physicist or in research. This might be at a local hospital, working with teams that use techniques such as MRI to diagnose illnesses, or in industry, at a company that's developing new technologies to identify and treat disease.<br><br>At the start of your course, youll cover the essential physics behind everything else youll study: heat, motion, electricity, magnetism and quantum mechanics. You will also start to study the human body as a physical machine, and how electronics can be used to model biological systems. Lectures and lab classes are included in the same modules, so you wont be learning about abstract topics in isolation. Youll run experiments using the equipment in our modern laboratories to help you understand how important theories apply to the real world.<br><br>Youll explore essential physics in even more depth in your second year. Youll also continue to specialise in medical physics, with modules on the tissues of the human body, medical imaging and biomedical instrumentation. In programming classes you can learn skills that are key to medical physics and valuable in many graduate careers, from data science to computer game design.<br><br>In your third year, you can branch out into lots of different areas and complete your own research project in medical physics. In your core modules, youll learn how computational techniques are used to examine medical problems and simulate natural systems, as well as studying topics like particle physics and nuclear physics. Optional modules include quantum mechanics and dark matter.<br><br>Optional placement year, Study abroad
