Program details
Overview
The Radiation Sciences (Medical Physics/Radiation Biology) Graduate Certificate (GAC) at McMaster University is a course-based, online certificate offered through the School of Graduate Studies. It provides graduate-level study in medical physics and radiation biology for applicants who are not pursuing McMaster's thesis-based Radiation Sciences MSc or PhD programs. Admission requires an Honours BSc degree in Physics or Engineering Physics with at least a B+ average in the final year; applicants holding an Honours BSc in another science discipline may also be considered if they have a good grounding in physics. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet McMaster's language proficiency requirement, typically a TOEFL iBT score of at least 92 or an IELTS overall score of 6.5 with no band below 5.5. The certificate is delivered entirely online and admits students in both September and January. It is administered within McMaster's School of Graduate Studies, alongside the university's Radiation Sciences degree programs.
