PROGRAMME DESCRIPTIONThis programme explores the use of physical
methods to benefit human health: a massively expanding area of work
with very great challenges. You will explore topics such as
radiation protection, respiration and hearing, X-rays in medicine,
cardiac function, medical ultrasound, nuclear medicine and
artificial limbs.
The medical physics components are taught by the Department of
Medical Engineering and Physics at King's.
ABOUT THE Department of Physics
CAREERS Physics students are in high demand because employers
recognise the wide range of skills that they possess. Physicists
are trained to be good problem solvers and to think logically and
apply mathematical and computational techniques to real problems.
It is not surprising that our graduates are found in many areas of
employment, where they can exploit their skills. Recent graduates
have found employment as… • Actuarial Analyst, Willis • Physics
Tutor, Tutoring Agency • Project Engineer, Cryogenic Ltd •
Publishing Editor, Royal Society of Chemistry • Researcher, Cornell
University • Risk Analyst, City Index • Performance Manager,
Bradford Commerce
TEACHING STYLE The majority of teaching is performed by lectures
and laboratory classes, tutorials and through project work. All
academic staff are involved with the undergraduate teaching
programme. Each student has a personal tutor and the department
encourages an open atmosphere in which students feel able to easily
approach academic staff. The Student-Staff Committee provides a
forum for the exchange of ideas and feedback on teaching. Staff and
students are members of the Maxwell Society: the departments social
and lecture society.
STRUCTURE OF PROGRAMMES & ASSESSMENT The programmes have a
common core of physics modules, with some optional modules each
year for single honours students. We place great emphasis on
problem solving and project work, which teaches team-work, group
organisation, and the skills of oral and poster presentations. We
also allow advanced students to work with a school, to experience
teaching and develop the skill of presenting information at an
understandable level. Students registered for the MSci degree take
almost exactly the same modules in the first three years as those
taking the BSc degree in Physics. The fourth year provides a wide
range of specialised physics options through an intercollegiate
London programme, while the MSci project work is a genuine research
project.
LOCATION The department is located in newly refurbished dedicated
office space, with views over the Thames to the London Eye and
Westminster. The central location of our department gives easy
access to major libraries and many leading societies including the
Institute of Physics.
