The environmental consequences of fossil fuel usage and supply chain unpredictability have prompted research into various alternative energy options. Currently, nuclear fission power stands as the only well-developed alternative that offers economic viability compared to fossil fuels. This initiative launched in 1956 with Britain's first nuclear reactor construction. Over time, we've consistently refined our research focus and specialization levels to match the field's growing complexity. We've preserved the program's comprehensive scope, believing it provides newcomers with valuable insights for their professional growth. The program also offers a part-time option spanning two years.
The curriculum comprises 180 credits, with 120 credits dedicated to coursework and 60 credits allocated to a research project. While some projects occur at the University, we increasingly facilitate industrial placements, offering students practical experience and improved career opportunities.
