Thanks to this exclusive TECH program you will be able to design efficient radiological systems, contributing to the technological and scientific progress of society" 

The study of the interactions between ionizing radiation and protons with matter has led to the development of complex radiophysical technologies that have an impact on various sectors. One of them is the medical field, which today has sophisticated equipment for the diagnosis of different pathologies or for the intervention of tumors. In order to make the most of these tools, it is necessary to have highly trained professionals for their maintenance and to be able to solve potential incidents. For this reason, engineers must keep their knowledge and skills up to date, handling the most advanced dosimetric instruments and state-of-the-art procedures for their calibration.  

Providing these specialists with a rigorous update is the main objective of this TECH Global University Postgraduate certificate. Its syllabus includes innovative aspects regarding the Radiation Measurement Radiophysics, specifically in relation to its accuracy, reproducibility, traceability and quality control. Also, the syllabus covers the design and maintenance of radiological equipment and applications of thermoluminescence dosimeters, as well as detectors for the measurement
of ionizing radiation. 

In addition, this syllabus has a disruptive methodology in a 100% online format that allows students to combine their studies with other work obligations. Likewise, the innovative Relearning system, of which TECH is a pioneer, facilitates the natural assimilation of concepts through its continuous, gradual and flexible reiteration. On the other hand, in its very complete Virtual Campus, graduates have access to complementary study materials. These include explanatory videos, interactive summaries, infographics, self-knowledge tests and many more. In short, the entire academic itinerary is designed so that engineers can adjust their learning to their schedules and work obligations. All thanks to the fact that this academic itinerary is not subject to hermetic schedules or strict evaluation chronograms.  

The interactive summaries of each topic will allow you to consolidate in a more dynamic way the concepts on the international regulations applicable to radiation protection"
