Overview

The Master Online and Postgraduate Study Tracks "Advanced Physical Methods in Radiotherapy" (APMR) offered through the University of Heidelberg in Germany is an ACQUIN accredited postgraduate program in the field of advanced medical physics delivered predominantly online. Together with the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the Heidelberg University Hospital and the new state of the art heavy ion facility, HIT, APMR offers students a flexible, multidisciplinary distance education program delivered in English by internationally based teaching staff in the disciplines of radiology, radio oncology, radiation safety and physics.

Unlike any other program, APMR offers its students in-depth theoretical online instruction from 70+ subject experts in advanced cancer treatment techniques such as IMRT, IGRT and proton and heavy ion therapy as well as periodic workshops and internships at cutting edge facilities in Heidelberg, Germany. Optimum use of internet communication technologies from within the institutional virtual learning environment (VLE) facilitates peer to peer collaboration and discourse whenever it fits students' busy schedules! In light of the imminent shortage of specialists at the growing number of heavy ion beam facilities worldwide, the MO APMR can help fill the widening gap whilst opening up opportunities to its graduates in emergent careers in teaching, research and care services.
