The second-level Master's aims to provide specific academic-professional training in the field of Medical Physics and Ionising Radiation Metrology and is structured around three specific thematic areas:

· Medical Physics of Diagnostic Imaging

· Medical Physics for Oncological Therapy

· Radiation Dosimetry

According to international guidelines, before undertaking a clinical or a radiation metrology training program, appropriate post-graduate academic education is necessary to acquire the foundational knowledge upon which to build the acquisition of specializations and skills necessary for professional activities in a hospital or in radiation metrology setting.

The Master's programme therefore offers two curricula, Medical Physics and Ionizing Radiation Metrology, which students select at the time of enrolment. The programme is structured as follows:

· The first year is based on a post-graduate program in Medical Physics and Metrology, which includes courses taught by both academic faculty and medical physicists with proven clinical experience. In the third trimester, students of the medical physics curriculum can choose in-depth courses in either radiotherapy or diagnostic imaging. The study plans differ by 4 credits.

· A second year of guided and personalized clinical internship at an affiliated Italian hospital (medical physics residency) or in a national radiation metrology laboratory (metrology supervised traning).
