About the programme
The programme combines chemistry, physics and mathematics. It focuses primarily on the chemistry of nuclear transformations and the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter. Students learn about the properties of atomic nuclei and the use of radionuclides in nuclear power plants. They learn how energy is obtained from uranium, as well as about radiopharmaceuticals and the treatment of patients.
programme content
Students will attend core courses focused on:
- inorganic chemistry,
- analytical chemistry,
- nuclear chemistry.
career prospects
Graduates understand nuclear processes and radiation. In addition to nuclear chemistry, detection and dosimetry of ionizing radiation, they are knowledgeable in the field of radiation protection and legislative safety requirements. Because of their combined theoretical and practical training, they are also able to plan and evaluate experiments. Graduates work in nuclear power plants, in the production of radiopharmaceuticals or in research. They also find employment in the field of environmental safety and control, for example in institutions such as the State Office for Nuclear Safety and the State Office for Radioactive Waste Management.
