Welcome to Reactor Physics
Nuclear power is a significant part of the current energy balance. With advances in science and technology, nuclear energy is increasingly regarded as an eminent part of the global energy-environment equation needed to satisfy growing demands for energy in a rapidly developing world.
To support the growing industry, the Reactor Physics division provides high quality education in basic and advanced principles of nuclear power engineering.
Master's programme in Nuclear Energy Engineering
The two-year Master’s programme includes three terms of course activities and one term of degree project work, adding up to a total of 120 ECTS credits. Courses will include lectures, classroom exercises, laboratory exercises (including work on a real reactor), study visits and project work.
