A masters program in nuclear energy reflects the strong international revival of interest in nuclear energy. It aims at providing students with necessary knowledge required in the nuclear industry. The program also prepares students for research and development in Nuclear Technology. The uniqueness of this program is that it provides enough knowledge in all the fields associated with nuclear energy and nuclear technology.

A masters program in Nuclear Energy prepares individuals to apply both mathematical and scientific principles in design, development and evaluation of systems for controlling and manipulating nuclear energy. These include nuclear power plant design, design of fission reactor, reactor control and safety systems design. They also include power transfer systems, containment vessels and structures design. The study involves the analysis of related engineering problems like fission and fusion processes, human and environmental factors, construction, and operational considerations.

This program provides students with essential skills required to decommission old nuclear power stations and manage the waste. The study covers all the measures designed to protect both people and the environment from elements associated with nuclear activities. A masters program in Nuclear Energy notably provides an opportunity in posts such as: design engineering, in particular designing the nature and phasing of decommissioning operations, or designing waste storage facilities; performance engineering whose role is to conduct and monitor on-site operations; and engineering related to the operations of waste storage facilities.
