Programme Overview
Fast-track Integrated Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Programme allows students to pursue a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physics with a Secondary Major in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (AIDA)/ Innovation and Entrepreneurship (IE), or a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physics, and seamlessly transition into a Master of Science in Medical Physics.
The BSc (Hons) in Physics provides a comprehensive education in fundamental and applied physics, while the secondary major allows students to gain expertise in cutting-edge areas that are increasingly relevant in today's technology-driven world. Upon completion of the undergraduate programme, students can advance to the MSc in Medical Physics, where they will learn to apply their knowledge to medical technologies and healthcare solutions, preparing them for careers in medical research, clinical services, or further academic study.
This integrated pathway is ideal for students aiming to leverage their physics background in the rapidly evolving fields of medical technology and healthcare innovation.
