As a global leader in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering research, we foster close collaborations with clinicians and scientists in major hospitals, which enables our researchers to be at the forefront of healthcare engineering.

UCL Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering is one of the longest-established medical physics departments in the UK with a distinguished history, dating from 1896 when the first X-ray device began operating at the nearby Middlesex Hospital.

Research is a major departmental activity with 97% of submissions rated as world-leading or internationally excellent in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF) carried out by HEFCE.

Our department is proud to hold the Athena SWAN Bronze Award.
