Medical Engineering & Physics MSc/PG Dip

The MSc in Medical Engineering & Physics is a vocational course which covers all aspects of medical physics and engineering, both practical and theoretical. The programme is based at King's College Hospital's Department of Medical Engineering and Physics and it has been an invaluable experience to observe the workings of the department first hand. I have been able to get a lot of work experience with them which has led me to decide on my final career path.
I am self funding my studies, however a proportion of the students on my programme are employed by the NHS as trainee clinical scientists and are studying as part of the training scheme. During this year I decided to apply for a clinical scientist position within the NHS and have been offered a post to begin in September at the Royal Free Hospital. The department staff could not have been more helpful during my job application process and I will always be grateful for their support and guidance.
One of the highlights of the course has been the optional modules held and taught at the Institute of Cancer Research at various hospitals throughout London. This has been a fantastic opportunity to meet some of the leaders in medical physics and scientists that have been pivotal in the evolution of the industry. We are taught and able to discuss the current issues and the latest techniques and technologies that are available by the people who design them.

King’s College London was my first choice for many reasons: academic excellence, internationally renowned programmes, excellent reputation for graduate employment and most importantly the high quality of the MSc programme.



Among the most attractive and unique features of King’s, the high quality of teaching, supervision and guidance enhance our competencies both academically and professionally. King’s location in the heart of London is a bonus, offering professional and social benefits. Being in London as a student is quite amazing as it’s a place of great choice.



My programme offers an enormous scope to gain theoretical and practical knowledge in all aspects of engineering and physics in medicine. One of the highlights of the programme has been the optional modules taught at the Institute of Cancer Research and various hospitals around London.



Being a self-funded student, the partial scholarship awarded by the Graduate School has immensely assisted me financially. Studying at King’s has been an invaluable opportunity of advancing my expertise. It is one of the top universities and lives up to the expectations of any student. King’s will not only provide me with a globally recognised degree, but also opportunities to improve professional and personal competencies which will make me stand out from the rest.
