Medical Physics MSc

The Medical Physics MSc at Budapest University of Technology and Economics prepares students to develop and operate methods, equipment, and measuring devices for monitoring medical application of ionising and non-ionising radiation and radioactive materials. It includes study of medical imaging, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, radiation protection, and radiobiology, with courses across medical physics, life sciences, physics, computer and data science, and laboratory work.

The programme runs for 4 semesters with 120 ECTS. The curriculum combines foundations such as Medical Physics and Physical basis of X-ray diagnostics, Radiotherapy, Nuclear Medicine, and Medical Imaging, plus independent laboratories and seminars and additional skills in Management and communication, Investment, and Communication skills and professional English. Professional training is 1 week, followed by thesis work with 30 credits.
