This thesis-based Master of Science trains students in medical physics research, covering radiation interactions, imaging systems, and health-technology applications. The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs (CAMPEP) since 2011. Students complete coursework alongside a research thesis defended through an oral presentation, working within Universite Laval's physics department under a confirmed research supervisor. Preparatory coursework in atomic and nuclear physics may be required depending on the applicant's undergraduate background. The program totals 45 credits and is designed for full-time completion over two years, with enrollment expected for at least two consecutive sessions excluding summer. Graduates gain research training applicable to medical imaging, radiation therapy planning, and health-technology development, positioning them for further doctoral study or professional practice in clinical medical physics settings across Quebec and beyond.
