Course summary

Nuclear technology is the wonder of our age, and you’ll discover how it can power our cities and help cure illnesses. You’ll focus on the applications of nuclear physics from energy supply and medicine to propulsion systems and reactor design – all alongside building your core physics knowledge. Getting hands-on and applying your knowledge goes hand in hand with boosting your technical skills and confidence. You’ll get to conduct experiments in our dedicated ionising radiation laboratory, lead a year-long project in your final year, apply for a year in the industry and will have the opportunity to volunteer in our research labs. Why choose this course?

  • You’ll learn in inspiring environments. We have a custom-built, on-campus observatory recognised by the International Astronomical Union, a radio telescope, a CT scanner, new microscopes, MRI scanners, a scanning tunnelling microscope and an ionising radiation laboratory. This ensures you get the practical experience you need to pursue a successful career.
  • You’ll study innovative, accredited courses. Our pioneering courses and research are carried out in close collaboration with universities and industry partners worldwide, giving our students skills and knowledge which are highly relevant to the needs of the industry. Our undergraduate MSci and BSc physics courses are accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), which will help you to achieve Chartered Physicist status sooner.
  • You’ll help to deliver research with impact. Our physics staff contribute to research activity in a number of areas, including Superhydrophobic Surfaces, Medical Resonance Imaging, Art Conservation and Space Weather. Approximately ten of our students undertakes paid summer placements in these research groups every year. NTU has recently been awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for research – the highest national achievement.
  • You’ll have the opportunity to get experience. Our courses offer the opportunity to apply for a placement in the UK or abroad, giving you the real-life experience employers are looking for. Recent year-long placements have taken place at CERN, E.ON, The Netherlands Forensic Institute and Diamond Light Source. Our research groups offer paid summer placements, where you get hands-on research experience. Our students have also undertaken paid summer placements in local secondary schools and at British Antarctic Survey.

Entry requirements

Qualification requirements

A lower offer may be made based on a range of factors, including your background (such as where you live and the school or college you attended), your experiences and individual circumstances (you may have been in care, for example). This is called a contextual offer and we get data from UCAS to make these decisions. NTU offers a student experience like no other, and this approach helps us to find students who have the potential to succeed here, but may have faced barriers that can make it more difficult to access university. We also consider equivalent qualifications and combinations. Please contact Nottingham Trent University Admissions team for further information.

Fees and funding

Tuition fees

No fee information has been provided for this course

Tuition fee status depends on a number of criteria and varies according to where in the UK you will study. For further guidance on the criteria for home or overseas tuition fees, please refer to the UKCISA website .

Additional fee information

The UK Government recently announced an increase to the Home Undergraduate tuition fee from £9,250 (the 2024 entry fee) to £9,535 for 2025 entry. This is subject to Parliamentary approval and is therefore still to be confirmed. The current expectation is that the NTU tuition fee for 2025 entry will be £9,535.
