The course will appeal to existing personnel in the UK nuclear industry looking to take on a managerial, technical or project role and to those wishing to join. Successful completion of the course will result in a fully validated Certificate allowing students to demonstrate to employers, stakeholders and customers their enhanced technical leadership capabilities in assessing nuclear waste management options. The course has been developed in conjunction with leading industry experts and organisations, and features lectures and opportunities to interact with leading practitioners in the industry.
