InHolland University: Master in Radiation Sciences for Oncology

This is a new MSc course in radiation sciences for oncology developed by the EMPIRION consortium, formed by 5 universities. This MSc course aims at educating and training students in an innovative multidisciplinary approach, combining physics, biology, medical sciences, technology and management. The new professional will fill a skills gap between radiation oncologists, medical physicists and radiation therapy technologists, leading to challenging careers in radiotherapy departments, industry and research. It is also a stepping-stone towards a PhD degree.

 

Who Can Apply?

Holders of a bachelor of science degree in Physics, Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering or any other related studies in a science discipline. Holders of a bachelor of science degree in Radiation Technology and directly related studies. Holders of an equivalent certificate at bachelor's level of a study carried out at a recognized institution. Participants with a good command of the English language. Professionals not enrolled in a degree course may also register only for specific modules or sub-modules in the framework of continued professional development.

General Programme

15 modules are offered in a logical sequence starting with an introductory module in Lisbon. Students will start from their "home base" at one of the five partner universities; an individual "tutor" will closely follow their progress throughout the course.
Students will be working on the modules of each university during partly overlapping periods of 6 months, which all include 5 to 6 weeks intensive teaching and hands-on training at each institute.
For those who cannot be away from their jobs for a prolonged period of time we offer particular modules or sub-modules that can be completed as stand-alone courses for the continuous development of working professionals.
