In order to obtain the Master's degree the student must complete a total of 60 ECTS credits, that encompass:

1. Compulsory module (42 ECTS credits), structured in 3 subject-matters that are taught chronologically: 1 and 2 in the first semester and 3 in the second. 
   • In subject-matter I, Radiations physics, theoretical and practical sessions have the aim of understanding the fundamentals of the atomic and nuclear structure to establish laws and magnitudes associated with radioactivity and the types of radioactivity decays, the interaction mechanisms with matter and the study of the production of X-rays, showing the importance of Bremsstrahlung radiation and, therefore, the convenience of using accelerators to obtain high kinetic energy electrons prone to producing high-energy X-rays.
   • In subject-matter II, Dosimetry and Radiation Protection, magnitudes and laws that allow the analysis of the loss of energy of a beam of radiation and the deposit of the same in a radiated environment are studied to understand the concepts of specific ionisation and the biological effect of radiations that allow to establish the basis of dosimetry and radiation protection in different areas of industrial, healthcare or environmental interest, as well as being able to carry out quality control of radioactive facilities.
   • In subject-matter III, Physics of the Diagnosis and Therapy, the physical foundations in which both images and laboratory techniques associated with medical diagnosis such as sonography and radiographical techniques, NMR, PET scintigraphy, etc. are based on, are developed as radiotherapy treatments. In this subject are also encompassed the contents related to new communication technologies used in hospital facilities.

2. Master's Degree Final Project: all students must compose and defend a final project (subject-matter IV) with a value of 18 ECTS credits, and will be carried out in during the second semester and aimed so that the student shows the acquisition of the competences associated with the degree and develops all the aspects related with the research activity in some of the fields of Medical Physics.

All proposed subject-matters have theoretical and practical training.
