MSc Nuclear Science and Radiation Protection in Guildford United Kingdom | University of Surrey

Our innovative MScin nuclear science and radiation protectionis taught by a combination of inspired nuclear physics academics from Surrey's'School of Mathematics and Physicsand forward-looking experts from the UK's nuclear industries. Ouracademics are part of the following groups,which housethe largest academic nuclear physicsresearchhubin the UK: Experimental Nuclear Physics Group, Radiation and Medical Physics Group, Theoretical Nuclear Physics Group. There are generous external funding opportunities available for students on this course. This includes the IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme, which aims to help increase the number of women in the nuclear field, and the Bursary Scheme offered by The Nuclear Industry Benevolent Fund.

Drawing upon our thorough expertise and excellent research, this course will give you deep knowledge of nuclear science and radiation protection. Its'substantial practical elementenables students to relate taught material to industry-relevant applications. Formal lectures are complemented with work inour specialist radiation laboratories, which were recently refurbished and enlarged at a cost of 2.7 million. In these facilities,you'llworkwith a wide range of radioactive sources and radiation detectors. There's also an extended project in the spring and an 11-week MSc dissertation project in the summer.
