Physics and Astronomy - Medical Physics
|
Medical Physicists work at the interfaces between physics and the life
sciences, applying their skills to healthcare problems in the
diagnosis, treatment and management of disease. Students following this
stream will be given a solid introduction to the subject and the
opportunity to explore a variety of core topics in greater depth.
