Explore the applications of modern physics for medicine and medical technologies.

Medical Physics is an important field of Applied Physics specializing in the development of new medical techniques and medical technologies. Subtopics include therapeutic medical physics, diagnostic medical physics, nuclear medicine physics and medical health physics. As medical services become more specialized and sophisticated, medical physicists are becoming an integral part of the modern healthcare industry.

In this Second Major programme, physics majors can specialize in four subfields of medical physics: diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, biomedical devices and medical health services. The programme is run by NTU's School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences in partnership with the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine.
