out placements with many companies around the world, including: EdF, Rolls-Royce, ANSTO, Westinghouse, JRC-ITU Karlsruhe and the IAEA. Imperial graduates ap proximately 30-35 students each year from the nuclear degrees, all of whom get jobs and about half join industry and a third go on to take higher degrees. Students entering the combined degree course in the Autumn of their 3rd year will study the courses: Introduction to Nuclear Energy; Nuclear Chemical Engineering; Nuclear Thermal Hydrau lics; Reactor Physics; Nuclear Materials. In addi tion project work is required for students pursu ing the combined degree and every effort made to arrange placements in relevant industrial or ganisations in the long +vacation between the third and fourth years. We make extensive use of guest lecturers with recent industry experience such as Dame Sue Ion (Government Nuclear Consultant), Dr Tony Judd (former Dounreay Fast Reactor Manager), Prof Cherry Tweed (Chief Scientist RWM) and Prof Neil Smart (Sellafield Sites). MSc in Nuclear Engineering The MSc in Nuclear Engineering provides training for engineers and scientists who want to become nuclear specialists. The MSc is taught by academics from the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials and Earth Sciences together with expertise unique to the UK university sector, from our Reactor Centre staff at the Silwood Park Campus who operate the CONSORT test reactor. In this 12 month course students attend lectures in the following courses: An Introduction to Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics; Nuclear Chemical Engineering; Reactor Physics; Materials for Reactor Systems; Modelling for Nuclear Engineers; Nuclear Safety Management; Nuclear Waste Management and Decommissioning. In addition to the core modules there are one week long short courses: »» Radiation Protection »» Fast Reactors and Nuclear Hydrogen Production »» Instrumentation »» Nuclear Fusion »» Nuclear Island Constructionarium »» Engineer in Industry The MSc in Nuclear Engineering provides training for engineers and scientists who want to become nuclear specialists.
