You have many options available to you within a BSc Physics major. You can choose to keep your Physics major general, or you can choose to follow one of two Physics pathways, in order to focus your studies further:
- Medical Physics and Imaging Technology: The science of biomedical optics, biophotonics and medical physics. Students on this pathway will gain specialist training in the use of optical and laser technologies for biomedical studies, with applications in sensing, medicine and modelling.
- Photonics: The science and technology of light. Students on this pathway will gain specialist training in photonic and electronic engineering, advanced physics and mathematical electronics.
The study of Medical Physics and Imaging Technology provides a very complex toolkit to support your ability to work in the biomedical industries, engage in the medical physics training or pursue a research career in biomedical optics.
You will study Medical Science courses that examine the ways in which host immune mechanisms control infection, advanced biomedical imaging studies of concepts related to the biology of cancer, and Physics courses that explore filtering and digital signal processing and advanced electromagnetism.
