This interdisciplinary programme will provide you with the skills, knowledge and expertise to become a practitioner in nanoscience, whether in industry or academia.
The structure of the programme – featuring two short training projects and one extended research project – provides multiple opportunities for direct contact with leading academics and industry partners across a wide range of research areas.
Throughout the programme you will have opportunities to further your technical and professional development in research skills, effective presentations, scientific writing, teamwork, creativity and entrepreneurship.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or equivalent) in a science or engineering discipline (eg chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, materials science or chemical engineering).
MSc Nuclear Science and Engineering This MSc delivers a solid grounding in the science and engineering principles that underpin the global nuclear industry. Throughout the
programme you will benefit from a connection, via the South West Nuclear Hub, to the University of Bristol’s highly regarded industrial research. This environment of collaboration with key industrial partners enriches your learning experience and exposes you to the scientific and engineering challenges facing nuclear energy today.
The programme offers you the opportunity to gain skills and experience that are highly sought after by the nuclear industry. As you learn about five key themes of nuclear science and engineering from experts in the field, you will develop skills in problem solving, team building, communication and scientific writing.
During the challenge project element of the programme you will join a multi-disciplinary team in approaching a genuine industry problem. The challenge is set by industry partners, who will act as your industrial supervisors, provide guidance on your work and attend your final presentation. Previous industry partners include Sellafield, EDF Energy and the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy.
This area of scientific study demands state-of- the-art facilities, and the programme gives you access to a suite of multi-million pound, cutting-edge analytical equipment, supported by dedicated technicians. Facilities include profiling systems, x-ray microscopes, a 200-acre site focused on robotics and device sensor development, and the largest earthquake simulator in the UK.
Graduates will leave equipped with a familiarity with the nuclear industry and the specialised nature of its safety culture, and they will be prepared to enter the industry or continue towards further research. Recent graduates have gone to work in the nuclear industry for employers such as Dounreay, EDF Energy and Atkins. Others have gone to PhD study, including within the Interface Analysis Centre and the Solid Mechanics Research Group at the University of Bristol.
The five key themes that run through the programme are: the nuclear cycle; nuclear reactor materials and design; nuclear structural integrity; nuclear professionalism and nuclear systems; infrastructure, hazards and risk. Teaching consists of core lecture-based units in science and engineering.
The Research Skills and Group Project units help develop the skills needed to work in this area, including industry-focused workshops, an industry-set challenge and a major individual research project, for which the practical work takes place over the summer.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or equivalent) in engineering, physics or a related subject. Relevant professional experience or qualifications can also be put forward for consideration as equivalent to the academic entry requirements. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
