This course focuses on creativity and ingenuity to develop your design and implementation skills to an advanced level, and prepare you for your chosen career. Nuclear applications cover a broad range of sectors from healthcare and cancer treatment through to power generation, national security and decommissioning activity. On this programme, you may decide to spend a year in industry, gaining valuable experience and enhancing your employability. We have extensive links built through our leadership in research and have students undergoing placements with multinational corporate companies through to smaller specialist SMEs. Our degree programme is flexible as to when this occurs, but we would recommend the best opportunity is once you have gained a reasonable amount of engineering knowledge. This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering Technology (IET) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) as meeting partial fulfilment of the educational requirements to become a Chartered Engineer, and provides a solid foundation in the essentials of engineering science and a deeper capability in nuclear engineering. Our graduates go on to excel in a wide range of industries, working in defence, medicine, materials, nuclear power, physics, and radiation protection and measurement. Professional roles can vary and include: Health and Safety Specialist; Instrumentation and Control Engineer; Process Design and Nuclear Systems Engineer; Reactor Operator. Nuclear engineering graduates are also well positioned for careers in electronic, mechanical or applications engineering. Alternatively, you may wish to undertake PhD level study at Lancaster and pursue a career in research or teaching.
