Entry qualification

Undergraduate diploma (or higher) Students whose degree has been awarded by a non-Italian University must fulfill the following entry requirements: Bachelor’s Degree in Physics or strictly Physics-related subject (Honours, ≥ 3 years) or a Bachelor’s Degree awarded by non-Italian University that it has been evaluated suitable for the admission. Knowledge of English corresponding at least to a B2 level or have taken a university course of English worth at least 3 European Credits or the corresponding number of hours of lesson. The suitability of the Bachelor’s Degree for the enrollment in the MSc is evaluated by an appointed Committee. To attend this Master’s Degree Program, a solid knowledge of Modern Physics, such as quantum physics, and physics of matter, and in its theoretical, experimental and application-oriented aspects is required, together with a solid mastery of the scientific method of investigation. It is also necessarily required to possess an in-depth knowledge of measuring instruments and data analysis techniques, as well as the necessary knowledge of mathematical and IT support tools. An appointed Evaluation Committee will interview candidates with suitable academic title to assess whether their knowledge of basic physics topics is suitable for the admission to this program. The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / French / Italian / Spanish. In order to finalize your enrollment, you must submit the scanned version of your original documents. Throughout the application process, the upload of the following documents will be required: MANDATORY: - a scanned copy of your passport or identity card. - a scan of you Bachelor degree transcript supplied by your university reporting the individual exams taken (or to be taken if still graduating) , relative marks and numbers of credits (or study hours) for each exam. If you have more than one degree, you may upload more than one transcript, each as a separate file. OPTIONAL: - a scan of your English language certificate.

Overview

The Master’s degree in Physical Sciences – Biomedical Physics is a track (curriculum) of the Master’s degree program in Physical Sciences offered by the University of Pavia. This Master’s Degree Program is entirely taught in English language.

To attend this Master’s Degree Program, a solid knowledge of Modern Physics and in its theoretical, experimental and application-oriented aspects is required, together with a solid mastery of the scientific method of investigation. It is also necessarily required to possess an in-depth knowledge of measuring instruments and data analysis techniques, as well as the necessary knowledge of mathematical and IT support tools.

The Master’s degree in Physical Sciences – Biomedical physics curriculum provides physical, biological and radiobiological knowledge, calculation tools, physical techniques and skills on instrumentation and mathematical methods also used in hospitals and medical industry.
The program focuses on basic and applied research in fields such as: medical diagnostics (for example with the development of imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance, PET, SPECT and CT, or sensors for monitoring vital signs or therapies through measurement of suitable biomarkers); clinical therapy (for example with the study and development of advanced radiotherapy techniques, such as hadrontherapy, neutron capture therapy and oncological hyperthermia); dosimetry and ionizing and non-ionizing radiation protection.
