Nuclear Engineering continues to be a growing field. In addition to the increasing number of “new build” proposals in the Western world, existing reactors require maintenance, servicing, operations and eventual decommissioning; waste needs to be managed and the fuel cycle requires servicing and handling. All of this requires engineers with an understanding of what makes the nuclear environment unique. This program educates and informs engineering graduates in the underpinning theory behind Nuclear Engineering techniques, technologies and processes. It also provides a stream that allows graduates from traditional engineering disciplines to prepare for a career in nuclear. Students learn from national and international experts in the sector, including staff from the Centre for Nuclear Engineering at Imperial College, London.
