Nuclear engineers create, develop, and manage systems and technologies that serve society. Our Master's program emphasizes innovation and problem-solving to enhance your technical design and execution abilities, equipping you for professional success.
Nuclear technology spans diverse fields including medical diagnostics, radiation therapy, energy production, defense systems, and facility dismantling. The sector is projected to grow significantly in the coming decade. With projected global investments of approximately 930 billion for new reactor construction and 250 billion for retiring facilities, the UK nuclear industry alone could create up to 40,000 new employment opportunities.
Your academic journey starts with a foundational year, where you'll complete core engineering modules alongside all first-year students. This initial phase provides comprehensive exposure to fundamental engineering principles and methodologies. After completing this year, you'll have the flexibility to chart your educational path, either specializing in Nuclear Engineering or selecting from our range of other engineering disciplines.
