Program Outline

Degree Overview:

Study in labs where you'll be using various instruments for radiation detection. Energy supply, medicine, agriculture, national security, manufacturing and resource-based industries are all examples of where the use of radioactive materials or radiation-generating machines are an essential part of operations. Radiation is also used to study materials and matter on the atomic scale. Our curriculum is a combination of fundamental radiation science, technological methods and applications to prepare you for a successful career. Our programs are designed in consultation with key industry representatives, and will provide you with necessary theoretical and applied skills to meet employers' needs. Learning Environment Students have access to new, modern buildings, libraries and innovative labs including: Corrosion and Electrochemistry Laboratory Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Research Centre (ERC) Environment Radiation Laboratory High-Performance Computing and Visualization Laboratory Nuclear Simulation Laboratory Radiation Protection Laboratory Scientific Instrumentation Laboratory
