Medical Radiation Physics, Degree Project
During this course you will write your Master thesis in Medical Radiation Physics. You will define a project and find a supervisor covering a topic which you would like to study in depth for 20 weeks. At the end you summarize your findings as a thesis which will be published.
Writing a Master thesis means that you do an individual project of scientific character.
The process, similar to writing a bachelor thesis, is mostly autonomous where you will work on a project closely related to medical physics. You will have the opportunity to design the project or to give input on a project proposed by your supervisor. Your will therefore be supported by a supervisor, who will guide you throughout your research project. Together you will agree on the project aim that will give you the opportunity to develop your scientific skills in planning, data collection and analysis, and formulating accurate conclusions.
Your research project is concluded with a thesis, and will therefore also train your skills in professional writing. Eventually you will present and defend your project in a public setting.

Course structure
This is an advanced course with mostly autonomous work. Note that to be able to get the highest grades on the degree project, you need to finish within a specific time. If there are special reasons, it may also be possible to study the course part time. Part time study needs approval from the course coordinator before the project is started. The course is included in the Master`s Programme in Medical Physics.
Teaching format
The teaching on the course consists of individual supervision. You are entitled to at least 20 hours of supervision during the course.
Assessment
Evaluation of your written report together with a public presentation and discussion.
Examiner
You will be assigned an individual contact person (from the list bellow) who also will act as examiner. You are supposed to find a supervisor yourself.

Course literature
Note that the course literature can be changed up to two months before the start of the course.
The literature consists of scientific publications and reports within the subject of the degree project. This literature can both be determined by the student through searches in publication databases and literature handed out by the supervisor or co-supervisor.
