The MPhil programme includes two (2) semesters of didactic academic work followed by one (1) year of research and clinical training. Academic courses pursued in the first year include: Radiation Physics, Research Methodology, Radiobiology, Anatomy and Physiology, Professional and Medical Ethics, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Dosimetry, Physics of Radiation Oncology, Physics of Imaging and Diagnostic Radiology. The two year training is followed by a one (1) year clinical internship for local graduates. The internship comprises 6 months radiotherapy, 3 months diagnostic radiology and 3 months nuclear medicine. This arrangement ensures that clinically qualified medical physicists receive minimum of two years clinical training. After internship, interns are certified to practice only after passing an examination of the Allied Health Professions Council. The PhD programme compromises of one (1) taught course and three (3) years of research work.

The training programme is accredited by the National Accreditation Board (NAB) in of Ghana. Assessment by NAB is carried out periodically at a frequency of once in every three years, using the services of international experts and consultants to ensure neutrality. Recommendations provided are scrupulously applied to ensure that international standards are upheld in the programme. Graduates of the Medical Physics programme have over the years benefitted from further training in the form of IAEA short courses and fellowships, ICTP – College of Medical Physics, ICTP – short courses and workshops and ESTRO training. This has further increased capacity and abilities in the field.
