Master's Program in Medical Physics from the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Italy

Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the University of Trieste offers a Master's Programme in Medical Physics (MMP), a two-year advanced training program in the field of medical physics, co-sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), supported by the International Organisation for Medical Physics (IOMP) and the European Federation of Organization for Medical Physics (EFOMP) and in collaboration with Trieste University Hospitals.

The first year will be spent at ICTP, Trieste, Italy, while the second year will be dedicated to clinical professional training in a Medical Physics Department of a hospital in the program's training network. Courses are held in English.

The Master's Programme is designed to provide young, promising graduates of physics or related fields (mainly from low and medium-income countries) with postgraduate theoretical and clinical training so that candidates may be recognized as Clinical Medical Physicists in their home countries.

A limited number of full or partial scholarships will be awarded to successful candidates from developing countries, with the support of the IAEA, TWAS, and ICTP. Full support includes travel, registration fees, and a monthly stipend of 900 euro in the first year and 1000 euro in the second (or a reduced amount of accommodation is provided).

Partial support can be in the form of:

• half support: travel, registration fees and a monthly stipend of 450 euro in the first and 500 in the second year
• or, only travel and registration fees.

The minimum qualification for applicants is a degree equivalent to an MSc in physics or related fields. The selection of candidates will be based on their university performance, research activity, and professional experience in the field. Adequate proficiency in the English language is required.

The Master's Programme is open to young (generally below 30 years of age) qualified graduates from countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO, or IAEA. Candidates who have received their degree outside Italy must obtain the "Dichiarazione di valore" from the Italian Embassy in their country, testifying that their curriculum studiorum is equivalent to the Italian "Laurea specialistica". Curriculum studiorum should comprise 12 years of primary and secondary school and a University degree equivalent to the Italian "Laurea specialistica" - a university study allowing to enter in a PhD program in her/his Country.
