Immerse yourself in one of Ontario's only Health Physics and Radiation Science programs, with a primary focus on the nuclear industry. Study in labs where you'll be using various instruments for radiation detection.
Energy supply, medicine, agriculture, national security, manufacturing and resource-based industries are all examples of where the use of radioactive materials or radiation-generating machines are an essential part of operations. Radiation is also used to study materials and matter on the atomic scale. Our curriculum is a combination of fundamental radiation science, technological methods and applications to prepare you for a successful career.
Our programs are designed in consultation with key industry representatives, and will provide you with necessary theoretical and applied skills to meet employers' needs.
