MSc in Nuclear Power Engineering

The program is aimed at training professionals in nuclear power engineering. After graduating from this program, you will be able to design, maintain, and operate nuclear power plants and their main equipment such as nuclear reactors, steam generators, and steam turbines. An in-depth study of theoretical basis in nuclear reactor physics, thermal-hydraulics, and nuclear power plant safety will be also performed.

Key Points

• Individual approach and ongoing assistance;
• The course is delivered in English;
• Scientific research activities, regular participation in seminars, conferences, and forums;
• Joint projects and research activities with teachers' engagement;
• International contacts for a future career at top positions;
• Communication with experts from leading construction and engineering companies;
• Scholarships to study abroad in English in one of the European partner universities (a semester or a summer school).

Our graduates become nuclear power plant engineers and typically work for nuclear power plants, design institutes, and manufacturing establishments. They may start with entry-level positions, which often deal with the design or maintenance of plant equipment, and further, they can be promoted to senior managerial positions, or to continue their studies in doctoral programs.
