Overview
This Master of Science, offered by the University of Alberta's Department of Oncology, specializes in Medical Physics, one of two specializations in the department's graduate program alongside Cancer Sciences. It is open to graduates in physics, engineering physics, or equivalent programs, with research and coursework connected to oncology. The department is based at the Cross Cancer Institute, a comprehensive cancer centre affiliated with the University of Alberta, and also uses facilities at the Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and Health Research and the Medical Isotopes and Cyclotron Facility. Admission follows the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry's graduate entrance requirements, which apply minimum academic and English-language standards in addition to the university-wide requirements set by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Applicants to Medical Physics must also present a score of at least 850 on the GRE Physics subject test and pass a criminal record check, and are not required to identify a supervisor before applying. The program is delivered on campus at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entrance requirements follow the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry's Graduate Program Entrance Requirements: the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies sets the university-wide minimum admission GPA, and the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry adds minimum English-language proficiency standards on top of it (TOEFL, IELTS, or Cambridge). Medical Physics is open to suitable graduates in physics, engineering physics, or equivalent programs, and research and coursework must connect clearly to oncology. Applicants must also present a score of at least 850 on the GRE Physics subject test and pass a criminal record check; unlike Cancer Sciences applicants, they are not required to identify a potential supervisor before applying for admission.
