MS Medical Physics

An MS in Medical Physics is a two-year postgraduate degree applying physics to medicine — radiation therapy, medical imaging, radiation dosimetry and radiation safety.

What You’ll Study

Coursework covers radiation physics and dosimetry, radiotherapy physics and treatment planning, medical imaging physics covering CT, MRI and nuclear medicine, radiation protection and safety, radiobiology, and quality assurance of medical equipment, typically with clinical placement.

Career Scope in Pakistan

This is a genuinely vocational qualification with clear demand. Cancer treatment capacity in Pakistan has expanded, and every radiotherapy centre requires qualified medical physicists — they are legally and clinically essential to treatment planning and radiation safety, not optional support staff.

Graduates work in radiotherapy and oncology centres, diagnostic imaging departments, nuclear medicine, radiation protection and regulatory roles, medical equipment quality assurance, and research. The specialist pool is small relative to expanding treatment capacity, which supports demand.

Admission Requirements

A relevant 16-year engineering or science degree, plus the university’s postgraduate admission test and interview. Several programmes run in formats suited to working engineers — check the specific programme page.
