The Master of Medical Physics Program at the University of Indonesia (UI) is a program within the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia. The program has achieved Excellence Accreditation.

According to the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP), Medical Physics is a branch of Applied Physics, pursued by medical physicists, that uses physics principles, methods and techniques in practice and research for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases with a specific goal of improving human health and well-being. Medical physics may further be classified into a number of sub-fields (specialties), including Radiation Oncology Physics, Medical Imaging Physics, Nuclear Medicine Physics, Medical Health Physics (Radiation Protection in Medicine), Non-ionizing Medical Radiation Physics, and Physiological Measurement. It is also closely linked to neighbouring sciences such as Biophysics, Biological Physics, and Health Physics. In our division, our focus within the field are Radiation Oncology Physics, Medical Imaging Physics, and Nuclear Medicine Physics.

In accordance with international community recommendations, it is explicitly stated that medical physicists in hospitals must be professionals, preferably those with master’s and PhD degrees with additional clinical training to ensure competence and the ability to work independently in their field. In addition to hospitals, medical physicists also work in academic institutions, research institutions, and other private sector institutions.

To meet the requirements for producing internationally recognized medical physicists, the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Indonesia, has been offering a Bachelor of Physics (Sarjana Fisika) program with a focus on Medical Physics and Biophysics since 1998, and a Master of Physics program with a focus on Medical Physics since 2002. Over the decade of these programs, we have prepared future leaders, both university staff and medical physicists from hospitals and other research institutions, to undertake internships in hospitals abroad. These activities have been supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) through a Technical Cooperation Project (2007–present) and the National Atomic Energy Agency (BATAN, now BRIN).
