The Department of Nuclear Engineering provides three advanced degree options: the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Engineering (MEng), and a dual Public Policy (MPP)/Nuclear Engineering (MS) program. Nuclear Engineering explores the principles of nuclear phenomena and their practical applications in developing innovative technologies. Professionals in this field create systems that address critical challenges like cancer therapies, fusion reactor development, and nuclear waste management.
At Berkeley, Nuclear Engineering students can engage in pioneering research either in state-of-the-art campus facilities or at the adjacent Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, benefiting from exceptional resources and hands-on learning. With small class sizes, the program ensures individualized guidance from faculty. The department boasts renowned professors who have achieved significant breakthroughs in sustainable nuclear power generation. These experts have also counseled governments including the United States, Japan, and Korea on nuclear policy and energy matters.
