School/department: School of Physics and Astronomy. This three-year Bachelor of Science (Honours) program in Physics with Medical Physics, offered by the School of Physics and Astronomy, provides a strong foundation in core physics principles combined with a focus on their applications in healthcare and medicine. The curriculum covers fundamental physics topics (e.g., Newtonian dynamics, electromagnetism, quantum physics) alongside specialized modules in medical physics (e.g., medical imaging, radiation therapy, and molecular biophysics). It often includes practical experience and specialist lectures from practicing medical physicists. The "Hons" designation in the UK typically indicates an undergraduate degree with a higher level of academic rigor and specialization.

Career options for graduates of this program are diverse and relevant to the healthcare and technology sectors. Potential roles include medical physicist (assisting in hospitals with imaging and radiotherapy), research scientist (in medical physics or related fields), medical technology developer, radiation protection specialist, and roles in the pharmaceutical industry. Graduates are well-prepared for further study at the Master's level in medical physics. The University of Nottingham's Russell Group membership, its focus on student experience, and its strong research history in medical physics enhance graduate prospects.

The University of Nottingham is a member of the UK's prestigious Russell Group, indicating a high standard of research and teaching in physics, including its applied areas like medical physics. It is home to award-winning campuses that focus on the student experience, providing a supportive and enriching learning environment. Facilities include 24-hour libraries, the Lakeside Arts Centre, and a fully equipped health centre, contributing to a well-rounded student life. Notably, the School of Physics and Astronomy has a proud history, with research by Professor Sir Peter Mansfield being recognized with a 2003 Nobel Prize for the invention of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) body scanners, demonstrating significant expertise and impact in the field of medical physics.
