"modules": "Year 1\nFive core modules include physics and mathematics. One optional module can be chosen from a range of science, engineering or computing-related modules. The physics modules cover the Scottish Advanced Higher syllabus. Aspects of atomic physics and thermodynamics are also taught. \n\nYear 2 \nYou will branch out to other areas including electronics, vibrations and waves, and mathematical modelling. Practical and professional skills are also developed. \n\nYear 3\nCore modules include electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, atomic, applied and fundamental nuclear physics, and statistical physics. Some optional modules can be chosen from advanced calculus, advanced optics, imaging and nuclear medicine. \n\nOptional industrial placement \nYou will have the option of spending a year working in industry or a relevant scientific research laboratory.\n\nYear 4\nSubjects are more advanced developments of those undertaken in Year 3, with additional topics including nuclear and particle physics, solid state physics, ultrasonics and nanotechnology, surface analysis and detectors. \n\nYou will also complete a research dissertation where your knowledge can be applied to an original research problem relating to nuclear physics.",

If you're not sure about your eligibility, you should contact SAAS. You need to apply to SAAS each year of study to have your tuition fees paid directly to UWS.\n\nTUITION FEE INFORMATION - UK, IRISH & GIBRALTARIAN STUDENTS:\nEligible students who are domiciled in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland as well as from the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar or the Republic of Ireland will qualify for tuition fees of £9,250 per academic session of study to a maximum of three years if you are studying on a four year bachelor degree course (eg. BAcc (Hons) / BA (Hons) / BEng (Hons) / BSc (Hons)). So, if your degree is four years' duration, you will only be charged tuition fees for three years. Similarly, if you are studying a five year integrated master's degree course (eg. MEng (Hons)) the you will only be charged tuition fees for four years. \n\nTUITION FEE INFORMATION - INTERNATIONAL (NON-EU) & EU STUDENTS:\nThese tuition fees apply to all non-EU, EEA, and all other EU students (excluding those from Republic of Ireland and Gibraltar, whose fee level is as per UK (non-Scottish) students - see section above for more details).\n\nADDITIONAL COSTS:\nThe cost of attending university is an investment in your future career.\n \nIn addition to tuition fees and living expenses, some courses involve extra costs such as consumable study materials, field trips, equipment and uniforms. You may also want to purchase some core texts and technology such as a new laptop etc. Some of these additional costs are optional, some, such as uniforms or safety equipment may be mandatory. \n\nCheck the course entry on our website for more more information.",

"summary": "OVERVIEW \n\nOur physics with nuclear technology programme has been developed to provide graduates with the knowledge necessary for a career in the nuclear industry or nuclear research.\nThe programme will cover core physics subjects, including:\n\n• Wave motion\n• Classical mechanics\n• Quantum mechanics\n• Electromagnetism\n• Atomic, nuclear and particle physics\n• Thermodynamics\n\nIn addition, the programme has a focus on nuclear science and technology including:\n• Imaging and nuclear medicine\n• Applications of nuclear physics\n• Nuclear and particle physics\n• Research topics in nuclear physics\n\nYou will graduate from the programme well-equipped for a career in nuclear power, nuclear medicine, environmental monitoring, fundamental and industrial research, or nuclear decommissioning.\n\nPROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS\n\n• The programme has been developed and is taught by members of UWS’s Nuclear Physics Research Group.\n\n• The nuclear-physics modules on this programme are delivered by staff who are carrying out research at the cutting edge of the subject.\n\n• You will carry out a fourth-year project integrated within the Nuclear Physics Research Group.\n\n• You will get the chance to develop your practical skills through research placements.\n• The renaissance in nuclear power has been well publicised, together with the demand for trained employees. In Scotland, significant investment will be made in nuclear decommissioning now and in the future.\n\nPROGRAMME DETAILS \n\nUWS has been carrying out nuclear physics research for almost 30 years – specialising in the study of the shapes and structure of exotic nuclei. Our research is carried out at large international facilities such as Argonne National Laboratory (Chicago), Jyväskylä Accelerator Laboratory (Finland), Legnaro National Laboratory (Italy), ISOLDE-CERN (Geneva), and ILL (France). There are clear research-teaching linkages in all of our nuclear physics related modules.\n\nCAREERS\n\nHigh demand for physics graduates enhances your employability in the nuclear energy sector, and nuclear medical imaging. Graduates from this programme have gone on to work in roles including:\n\n• Nuclear Engineer\n• Nuclear Safety Consultant\n• Nuclear Waste Advisor\n• Radiological Consultant",
