Bachelor of Science - Nuclear Science and Materials at University of Birmingham - Kaplan: Tuition Fee: £24,600.00 GBP / Year (Scholarship Available)

This unique Nuclear Science and Materials BSc degree course is designed to develop the skills and understanding required to prepare students for the Nuclear Sector. One of the major challenges the UK faces is reshaping how it generates electricity as there is a move away from fossil fuels. The Government are investing in the construction of a suite of new nuclear power stations to deliver 20-40% of the UK’s electricity, both to replace retiring plants and for increased capacity. There is a significant demand for graduates to work in this rapidly growing sector.

With more than 60 years’ experience in teaching the physics of nuclear reactors and more than 100 years’ experience of teaching materials science, Birmingham is one of the best places to study nuclear science. Students will be taught by experts in the field enabling them to gain strong theoretical and practical skills in the subject. 

The multidisciplinary Birmingham Centre for Nuclear Education and Research boasts world-leading research and facilities and has strong links with the nuclear industry, which recruits extensively from our educational programs.

On the course – a joint program delivered between the School of Metallurgy and Materials and the School of Physics and Astronomy – students will develop engineering skills alongside fundamental science principles, which includes linking the behaviour and properties of materials to fundamental knowledge of their atomic structure. By the time students graduate, they will have a detailed understanding of nuclear reactor physics, materials, nuclear science and nuclear radiation. 

There is an opportunity to apply for a year in industry during the degree, this usually occurs between year 2 and year 3. Students will be assisted to find suitable internships, and assisted and mentored by academic members of staff throughout the year in industry. A year in industry is an invaluable opportunity to take on a role within a company, apply the theoretical knowledge of the degree course to real-world issues and will enhance career prospects.
