The master’s programme in Nuclear Energy Engineering covers all aspects of nuclear engineering, including the physics and technology of nuclear reactors, nuclear power safety and radiation protection. Students choose from numerous unique elective courses covering, for example, generation IV reactors and small modular reactors. Graduates design, operate, manage and develop nuclear facilities, usually as nuclear engineers, consultants, researchers and managers.

The Nuclear Energy Master’s is a high-level international program built in partnership with the most elite engineering schools, whose objective is to provide top foreign and French students with the main knowledge necessary for the nuclear industry producing low‐carbon electricity. The program targets current and future needs of the nuclear industry: optimizing the performance of existing nuclear reactors, designing third-generation nuclear installations (reactors and factories for fuel cycle), develop new fourth-generation processes and systems, operate installations, manage waste and decommissioning.

The Master of Nuclear Engineering is a one-year programme organised by 6 Belgian universities in collaboration with SCK CEN. It is a modular programme that facilitates individual participation in selected courses or foreign students' participation in blocs of courses.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), there are currently 440 nuclear reactors in operation around the world. In countries such as the United States, China, the United Kingdom, France, Japan or Brazil, new reactors are being built, while other reactors are in final shutdown, some of them have already been dismantled, others are in progress and others will be dismantled in the future. future. Spain has different nuclear reactors, including reactors in operation, in permanent shutdown and in the process of being dismantled.

The program aims to train high-level experts to meet current and future needs of the nuclear industry: performance optimization of the current reactor fleet, design of third-generation facilities, development of advanced processes and Generation IV reactors, operation of current reactors and facilities, dismantling of facilities, reprocessing of spent fuel, nuclear waste management, etc.

The Master’s degree in Materials science for Nuclear Energy (MaNuEn) is an international Master’s program designed for students wishing to pursue a career in nuclear R&D, whether in industrial companies or research organizations.

This course focuses on civil engineering aspects of nuclear power plants, high-risk installations, and buildings subjected to stresses, from design and construction to decommissioning.

Applications in Nuclear Energy Specialize in nuclear fuel processing, materials, radioactive waste treatment and management, thermal behavior and measurement, nuclear systems design and modeling or applications of nuclear process heat and learn to harness the power of pollution-free energy. This program will give you the technical education and research experiences you need to work in industry, government or academia.
