The Engineering Department specialises in multi-disciplinary research, particularly in the areas of energy, nuclear engineering and micro-systems. It has close links with many industries.
Professor Malcolm Joyce Head of Department
Professor Joyce’s main interests are the development of applied radiation detection and measurement methods for applications in characterising exotic radiation environments, such as that associated with space, nuclear reactors and medicine, and the reliability of electronic systems therein.
“The Engineering Department at Lancaster University is a dynamic general engineering environment where specialists in electronics, control and design work alongside each other, often on shared projects. We aim to work on the big questions that face our world today, appealing to current issues and agenda at UK and International level. Examples include our work on Homeland Security technologies, low-carbon energy technologies, the design of future particle accelerators and pioneering research in the packaging of microelectronic systems. We collaborate widely both within the University and with other universities and international engineering companies.”
“Recently we have made significant investments in our research environment with extensive refurbishments of our research laboratories and study environments for researchers. This, coupled with Lancaster’s outstanding quality of life, makes us an enormously enjoyable place in which to carry out world-leading engineering research.”
The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise evaluated 95% of research in the Department being at internationally recognised levels. In particular, 100% of the research outputs from Engineering have been judged to be internationally recognised, of which over one-sixth are 4*, world leading. The Department has expanded substantially since 2001 with subsequent research valued in excess of £6.5M. Support of students and research is obtained from EPSRC, EU, DTI, Charitable Foundations, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) and industry. The Department is one of the top rated in the country for graduate employment success.
TAUGHT COURSES
MSc/PgDip in Decommissioning and Environmental Clean-up
Director of Studies: Professor Malcolm Joyce. Duration: 24 months part-time (MSc, industry based). Entry Requirements: At least a second class honours degree, or its equivalent, in an engineering discipline, mathematics, chemistry, environmental science or physics. An HND together with appropriate experience in a relevant industry may also be acceptable. Assessment: Combination of coursework and/or examination and a dissertation. IELTS: 6.5 Funding: See page 213. Further Information:

This course has been designed for engineers working, or aspiring to do so, in the nuclear decommissioning industry. The syllabus is a unique combination of Engineering, Safety and Environmental material necessary to empower engineers across a broad range of disciplines associated with legacy facilities. The taught aspects of the course draw on research- based expertise from the Departments of Engineering and Environmental Science and on industry-based expertise plus contributions from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and regulatory bodies.
