For the acquisition of the Master of Science (MSc) degree in "Medical Physics – Radiation Physics", the offered courses (including the laboratory exercises), the workload in full weeks and the respective teaching hours and credits, are determined as follows:
First semester (18 full weeks of workload - 13 weeks of teaching)
Courses | Credits |
Atomic and Nuclear Physics | 3 |
Sources of ionizing radiation | 2 |
Interaction of ionizing radiation and material | 5 |
Detection and measurement of ionizing radiation | 4 |
Medical Statistics, Informatics and Image Processing | 4 |
Elements of Biology, Anatomy, Physiology and Physics of the human body | 3 |
Dosimetry of ionizing radiation | 5 |
Biological effects of ionizing radiation | 4 |
Total | 30 |
Second semester (18 full weeks of workload - 13 weeks of teaching)
Courses | Credits |
Diagnostic and interventional radiology | 5 |
Diagnostic and Therapeutic applications of Nuclear Medicine | 6 |
Therapeutic applications of ionizing radiation (external radiotherapy, brachytherapy) | 7 |
Physical principles, applications and radiation protection of non-ionizing radiation | 5 |
Radiation protection of ionizing radiation | 7 |
Total | 30 |
Third semester (18 full weeks of workload)
The third semester includes the preparation and then the writing of a thesis/dissertation, as well as the oral examination related to the respective thesis in an open hearing before a three-membered examination committee. A prerequisite before the beginning of thesis preparation is the successful fulfilment of first’s and second’s semester requirements.
The teaching of the courses, during the first and the second semester, is carried out with the equipment of the collaborating bodies under the supervision and organization of the University of Athens (https://mpl-en.med.uoa.gr/). The courses are taught in Greek and/or English.
