  •  These examination regulations apply to all students who have been enrolled in the Master's degree programme in Medical Physics at the RUB or the TU Dortmund University from the winter semester 2020 / 2021 onwards.
  • Students who have already been enrolled in the Master's degree programme in Medical Physics at the RUB or the RUB or the TU Dortmund University before the winter semester 2020 / 2021 when these examination regulations come into force can apply to the joint examination board to be examined according to these examination regulations. The application is irrevocable. Failed attempts and achievements will be credited.
  • From the winter semester 2023 / 2024 onwards, these examination regulations in their current version will apply to all students who have been enrolled in the Master's degree programme in Medical Physics at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum or the Technische Universität Dortmund, unless new examination regulations for the joint Master's degree programme in Medical Physics at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the Technische Universität Dortmund have already become valid.

Information on the specialisation area

Students must document their choice of the specialisation area by completing the form "Leistungsnachweis im Schwerpunktmodul". If you have any questions, please contact the Central Examination Administration.Please register in BOSS for the examinations in the study achievements first in the elective area. The assignment and rebooking of the individual achievements in the focus areas will be done later by the Central Examination Administration with the help of the above-mentioned routing slip.

Information on the research phase (2nd year of study)

The central element of the research phase in the second year of study is the Master's thesis worth 30 credit points. This involves independent research work on a current issue in modern medical physics. The prerequisite for this research work within the framework of the Master's thesis is first of all learning special methods and skills of experimental practice as well as project planning. This preparatory phase is divided into a research internship worth 15 credit points and a module "Knowledge of Methods and Project Planning", also worth 15 credit points. Throughout the research phase, students acquire universal key competences in the area of project management, teamwork and the presentation and presentation of scientific results. These aspects of scientific work on the front lines of research, which are particularly valued by employers, are specifically promoted in the aforementioned module "Knowledge of Methods and Project Planning".
