About this course

This programme is aimed at a new generation of engineers, with the intention of ensuring they are equipped with specific training to work together and generate creative solutions based upon solid technical understanding to support the global nuclear industry. Topics covered include all major aspects of the nuclear industry from the design and build of nuclear power stations, their operations, through to decommissioning and final disposal. Our course is multidisciplinary, drawing from expertise across departments within the Faculty of Engineering, including experts from the Reactor Centre staff at the Silwood Park Campus who operate the CONSORT test reactor.

All applicants must apply online. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful. Most courses don't have a formal closing date, but popular courses close when they are full, so you should apply early to avoid disappointment. There may also be funding deadlines that apply to you.

Course programme

Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.

Formal teaching extends from October through to the end of May, with a variety of learning methods including lectures, coursework, laboratory based and group learning. Assessment includes coursework, tests and examinations.

Over a third of the degree involves a hands-on research project, working within a research team to address a novel and exciting research problem. Your project is either undertaken within the range of research groups based within the Centre for Nuclear Engineering at Imperial or as a suitable industrial placement with our network of collaborative partners.

The project involves a written literature review after the project is chosen in January. The research is hands-on and full-time after exams have concluded until September. It culminates with a written thesis and presentation to members of the Centre for Nuclear Engineering and your colleagues on the MSc.
