M.Sc Nuclear Science and Technology
Course description
Course accredited by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), The Energy Institute (EI), The Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining (IoM3) and The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
This course is run in partnership with fellow members of the Nuclear Technology Education Consortium (Sheffield is one of the lead partners, along with Manchester and Liverpool) and gives you access to more than 90 percent of the UK’s academic expertise in nuclear waste immobilization, decommissioning and clean-up.
You’ll be based in the department’s world-leading NucleUS Immobilisation Science Laboratory, and will take eight modules on the nuclear fuel cycle. Topics include Decommissioning, Nuclear Technology, and Environment and Safety. Each module includes a week at one of our partner universities.
