Présentation
Objectives

Acquire the essential scientific knowledge in medical physics, namely: radiation–matter interactions, the physical principles of medical imaging, medical image processing and quantification, radiotherapy physics, the mathematical foundations of Monte Carlo simulations, radiobiology, radiation protection, and artificial intelligence.

Skills
  • Maîtriser les savoirs spécialisés de la physique médicale avec la rigueur scientifique requise.

  • Overall organisation

    The first semester begins with core courses in medical physics: radiation–matter interactions, the physical principles of medical imaging and radiotherapy, medical image processing and quantification, as well as modeling and stochastic simulations. These modules aim to bridge theory and practice while developing transverse skills such as scientific rigor, critical thinking, work organization, and teamwork through group projects. Practical sessions further strengthen programming and modeling skills. Two additional courses in radiobiology and radiation protection complete the semester. In the second semester, a dedicated module focuses on research methodology, including written and oral communication and professional English, along with an introduction to artificial intelligence applied to medicine. The program concludes with a six-month internship.
