Majors: Medical diagnostics and imaging Dosimetry and oncology therapy Characteristics of the programme: Full-time second-cycle studies in medical physics last 3 semesters, and finish with the defence of the master's thesis and obtaining the master’s degree in medical physics. After the first semester of studies, students undergo compulsory internships (60 hours). An important task of education in medical physics is connected with preparing physicists to work in interdisciplinary teams (which are composed of doctors, biologists, chemists and technicians) and to act as experts in the fields of radiotherapy planning, quality management systems in the domains related to medical physics, safety quality management systems, technical quality of imaging procedures, and preparation and operation of non-standard procedures. Classes are conducted by employees of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the Institute of Physics of the University of Silesia, as well as the Medical University of Silesia, and the Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology, Branch in Gliwice. The learning outcomes of medical physics differ from the profile of the graduate of physics and technical physics with the major of medical physics in terms of a broader preparation in the field of biological, medical and legal sciences with simultaneous deepening of physical and mathematical knowledge in terms of biomedical sciences. The graduate is prepared to continue the education process at the doctoral school (third-cycle studies).
