Course overview
The MSc in Radiometrics will teach you a broad range of detector technologies for measuring ionising radiation that are widely used in nuclear-related industries, equipping you for a career in any industry involving radiation and radiation detectors.
Introduction
Teaching will cover basic radiation principles, the use of detection systems and associated instrumentation applications, and modelling. There’s a strong focus on practicals and laboratory-based techniques.
The MSc in Radiometrics will teach you a broad range of detector technologies for measuring ionising radiation that are widely used in nuclear-related industries. It has a strong emphasis on practical laboratory skills using the state-of-the art equipment in our teaching laboratories, complementing the theoretical knowledge and advanced modelling skills you will learn. Many modules are also taken by participants from industry as part of their Continuing Professional Development, so you will have opportunities to learn first hand about what it’s like to work at some of the UK’s leading employers in the sector.
The project during the summer will give you a chance to conduct individual open-ended research under expert supervision. You’ll be able to carry out the project, often in industry, making you even more employable in sectors such as nuclear power, medicine, environmental protection, oil and mining, and health and safety.
Who is this course for?
This course is suitable for students with first degrees in physical sciences and engineering who are looking for a career in sectors such as nuclear-related industries, healthcare, security, radiation protection and environmental monitoring, as well as further study.
What you'll learn
Advanced laboratory practical skills
Computer modelling skills
Theoretical knowledge related to detector technologies used for measuring ionising radiation in a wide range of employment sectors
Applicants are required to have completed a degree in a physical science, or a closely related subject. Relevant industrial experience can be an alternative, subject to references. We also encourage applications from those from non-traditional backgrounds, for example with relevant industrial experience, in lieu of a degree. Each application will be assessed on its own merits and subject to references.
