|
|
Course Requirements
The minimum course requirement for the Ph.D. degree in Radiation Sciences in both fields of Medical Physics and Radiation Biology is the completion of at least one full course at the 700-level beyond the courses required for the M.Sc. degree. Medical Physics field
Candidates in the Medical Physics field must complete the following:
Two half courses at the 700 level, including
- MED PHYS 775 / Advanced Radiation Physics
unless it has already been completed.
Candidates are expected to have knowledge in Radiation Biology and in Radiation & Radioisotope Methodology. If a candidate lacks this knowledge, she/he will be directed by the program to pursue appropriate additional learning opportunities.
Radiation Biology field
Candidates in the Radiation Biology field must complete the following:
Two half courses at the 700 level.
Candidates are expected to have knowledge in Radiation Biology and in Radioactivity & Radiation Interactions. If a candidate lacks this knowledge, she/he will be directed by the program to pursue appropriate additional learning opportunities.
Comprehensive Examination
Every candidate for the Ph.D. must pass a Comprehensive Examination concerned with Radiation Sciences, but outside their own immediate area of research. Thesis
A thesis must be presented embodying the results of original research, and this thesis will be defended in a final oral examination. |
