Why choose this course 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 expert industry professionals 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.
