  Hi, I went to school in Scotland so did things slightly differently, I did GCSE equivalent standard grades in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Computing, History, French, Art, English. I then did highers in Physics, Maths, Chemistry, Computing and English.
  All you need really is the grades to get you into university. For medical physics you would normally do an undergraduate degree (usually Physics), and would need to achieve a 2:1 award.
  After that, you apply to the training system through the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM). This training scheme (paid) is 3 years and includes doing a masters degree.
  It’s a lot of hard work but worth it in the end!

  You need to have science and maths in GCSEs and then Physics, Maths, Chemistry/Biology in A levels. After that you can choose to take up undergraduate studies in Physics (ideal)/biomedical engineering. After the first degree depending on you interest you can choose to do an MSc or straight away apply for a PhD depending on the university. And there you are….
