Why choose this course
How can atomic nuclei provide us with energy, help us monitor the environment, benefit medicine and more?
Our innovative MSc?in nuclear science and radiation protection?is taught by a combination of inspired nuclear physics academics from Surrey’s?School of Mathematics and Physics?and forward-looking experts from the UK’s nuclear industries.
Our?academics are part of the following groups,?which house?the largest academic nuclear physics?research?hub?in 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.
What you will study
Drawing upon our thorough expertise and excellent research, this course will give you deep knowledge of nuclear science and radiation protection. Its?substantial practical element?enables students to relate taught material to industry-relevant applications.
Formal lectures are complemented with work in?our specialist radiation laboratories, which were recently refurbished and enlarged at a cost of £2.7 million. In these facilities,?you'll?work?with 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.
Careers and graduate prospects
We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.
As a graduate of this course, you’ll have job opportunities in the nuclear industry, which is a growing and international sector.
Former students have secured roles at UK and overseas nuclear regulatory agencies, in the nuclear industry and at the National Physical Laboratory, among others.?This?MSc?can also lead to further study, such as completing a PhD.
A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree in chemistry, engineering, environmental sciences, physics, radiography or radiological science, or a recognised equivalent international qualification.
