This CAMPEP-accredited Medical Physics Graduate Certificate is an intensive eight-month, course-based program made up of six specialized courses, delivered on-campus through the Department of Physics and Astronomy. It's built for students who already hold a PhD in physics and want the accredited coursework needed to qualify for CAMPEP residency positions in clinical medical physics. The application asks for a personal statement, resume, two references, and transcripts, with a single intake each September though applications are reviewed year-round. Its short, focused structure makes it a targeted bridge between a physics doctorate and clinical training rather than a standalone research degree. International applicants are advised to apply well ahead of the September start given study-permit and visa processing times, and the certificate is administered directly by the Department of Physics and Astronomy within the Faculty of Science.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This graduate certificate is for students who already hold a PhD in physics; that doctorate is the program's stated prior credential rather than a master's degree or an undergraduate average. The page does not publish a separate minimum GPA or an English-language test score of its own, so UVic's general graduate floor applies to the latter: IELTS overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT overall 90 with no section below 20. A complete application includes a personal statement, a current resume, post-secondary transcripts, and the names and email addresses of two referees. Entry is in September of each year, and the page directs applicants to the graduate calendar's minimum course requirements for the program for anything beyond these admission basics.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
