The Master’s Degree (M2) in Medical Radiophysics trains specialists in the field of physics applied to medicine, with a particular focus on the use of ionizing radiation for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
This program, which combines theoretical courses, tutorials, practical sessions, and internships in laboratories, industry, or hospitals, prepares students for both academic and applied research, and is a prerequisite for the professional training of medical physicists.
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.
