Courses in Nuclear Engineering
Studying Nuclear Engineering at Imperial College
Nuclear Engineering is a multidisciplinary subject and graduates are highly sought after by employers across the globe. It is predicted that nuclear energy capacity will increase dramatically over the coming decade as part of the strategy to reduce CO2 emissions whilst meeting the world’s growing energy demands.
In the UK alone it is now projected that up to 13 new nuclear reactors will be built. This is further increasing the demand for suitably qualified nuclear engineering graduates, in jobs as diverse as radiation protection, construction, safety case production, chemical engineering, plant operation, reactor design and materials performance.
Courses in Nuclear Engineering
For Undergraduates
The Departments of Chemical, Mechanical Engineering and Materials at Imperial College London adopted an integrated approach to develop three relevant undergraduate degree courses.
Full-time degree courses:
- MEng in Chemical and Nuclear Engineering
- MEng in Materials and Nuclear Engineering
- MEng in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering
If you are an undergraduate student at Imperial you also have the option to choose soem modules in Nuclear Engineering without commiting to a full degree:
For Postgraduates
Nuclear Engineering is challenging and building and maintaining a reactor is a team effort, requiring talented individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds, but with demonstrated training.
