Program Description In this program, students immerse themselves in one of Ontario's only Health Physics and Radiation Science programs, with a primary focus on the nuclear industry. Students study in labs where they'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. This curriculum is a combination of fundamental radiation science, technological methods and applications to prepare students for a successful career. The programs are designed in consultation with key industry representatives, and will provide students with necessary theoretical and applied skills to meet employers' needs.
