Program Overview

·  The Bachelor’s program in RadiationPhysics at the University of Constantine-1 Frères Mentouri, offers a comprehensive training aimed to understand and comprehend various types of radiation and their different properties.

·       The training includes two semesters. The first focuses on reinforcing the mathematical and theoretical concepts that aid in a better understanding of radiation in its two forms: atomic and nuclear. While, the second semester focuses on the interaction of radiation with matter and the various physical properties resulting from that.

·       In addition to the theoretical aspects included in this training, it also includes practical work that trains students to handle various types of radiation, measure them, determine their physical properties, and protect against their hazards.

·       At the end of this training, graduates are qualified to work in various industrial and medical sectors that use different types of radiation. Graduates can also continue their academic training at the master's and doctoral levels in various physics fields such as radiological, medical, and applied physics.


Teaching Language : The Radiation Physics Bachelor's program is taught in French and in English.
