36 Postgraduate Certificate in Nuclear Technology Programme Overview The Postgraduate Certificate in Nuclear Technology is a programme of study offered by the University of Manchester (UoM). Delivery of the programme is by a partnership of UoM and Gen2. This qualification has been specially designed for engineering graduates with no prior nuclear engineering knowledge. The programme provides learners with an advanced level of knowledge and understanding of the UK nuclear industry, the underlying technology and its unique challenges, with particular emphasis on nuclear safety and environmental protection. Who should apply? Engineering and science graduates new to the nuclear industry or more experienced graduates who wish to enhance their nuclear knowledge and level of qualification. What will I study? You will study four modules as follows: The Nuclear Industry and the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Civil Nuclear Reactor Technology Nuclear Safety Management Nuclear Decommissioning and Waste Management Pre-requisites An honours degree in engineering or science at class 2.ii or above Location The awarding body is the University of Manchester. Agreement has been reached with the Open University and National Skills Academy for Nuclear that successful completion of the PgCert(Nuclear Technology) is taken to be equivalent to Modules 1,6 and 7 of the Certificate for Nuclear Professionalism Duration The four modules are normally taken over a period of 2 years. Each module involves 1 week of classroom-based learning followed by 70 hours of post-course assignment work. What next? Students achieving the PgCert(Nuclear Technology) are eligible to transfer into the MSc programme in Nuclear Technology delivered by the Nuclear Technology Education Consortium (NTEC).
