PhD in Chemistry: Radiochemistry

Our Radiochemistry program prepares students to join in the strong local and national market for experts with advanced training in the general area of nuclear and radiological sciences. The increasing importance of nuclear energy production, nuclear forensics, medical diagnostics based on radiological methods and the ever-increasing problem of nuclear waste legacy ensure a strong and increasing demand for PhD graduates who will manage the research and operational facilities in academia, government and nuclear industry.
