About the Program

The Master's program in Medical Physics offers the unique opportunity to combine modern physics with direct clinical application. Students deepen their expertise in physics and apply it specifically in medical diagnostics and therapy. The curriculum is brought to life through close collaboration with renowned clinical partners who bring authentic questions from everyday clinical practice directly into the studies. This program qualifies graduates for one of the most sought-after key roles in modern healthcare: that of a certified medical physics expert (MPE). In addition to the Master's degree, students earn five officially recognized radiation protection certificates – essential building blocks for subsequent professional licensure after two years of clinical practice. The program consists of three semesters, with the first phase providing a solid foundation in medical physics through a well-balanced curriculum combining theoretical knowledge with practical application. The second phase focuses on practical application through projects, laboratory work, and clinical lectures at partner hospitals. The studies conclude with a six-month master's thesis.
