An international high-level degree, fully taught in English, training tomorrow’s engineers and researchers in the field of civil nuclear energy.
Combining scientific excellence, technical expertise, and a global vision of energy challenges, the program equips students to address the key issues of the energy transition: low-carbon electricity production, safety and security of nuclear facilities, waste management, and the design of next-generation reactors.
The Master in Nuclear Engineering is a high-level international degree fully taught in English. It is designed for French and international students aiming to become engineers and researchers able to address challenges in operation, safety, design, decommissioning, and the future of nuclear facilities, contributing to low-carbon electricity generation.
The two-year program includes:
- M1: two tracks, Physics and Chemistry, to build essential foundations.
- M2: five specializations in key areas of civil nuclear energy: Fuel Cycle, Decommissioning and Waste Management, Operation, Nuclear Plant Design, Nuclear Reactor Physics and Engineering.
This progressive structure provides students with strong scientific and technical expertise, while fostering a global understanding of the industrial, environmental, and societal challenges of nuclear energy.
Information
Skills
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:
- Identify the knowledge and tools required to analyze and solve complex problems in nuclear energy.
- Master the key disciplines involved in the industrial application of nuclear energy.
- Understand and explain the impacts of nuclear energy on humans and the environment, both in normal operation and in accident scenarios.
- Work effectively in teams and collaborate with professionals from diverse cultural, scientific, and technical backgrounds.
- Apply the fundamental principles of safety culture (prudence, questioning attitude, transparency, responsibility).
- Position nuclear energy within the global energy mix and compare it with other sources in terms of environmental, economic, and geopolitical impact.
Objectives
The Master aims to:
- Train specialists with strong scientific and technical knowledge to contribute to the safe and sustainable use of nuclear energy.
- Prepare students for careers in the nuclear industry or for research in reactor physics, modeling, radioprotection, or nuclear chemistry.
- Develop awareness of safety, security, and environmental issues associated with nuclear facilities.
- Provide a comparative and critical perspective of nuclear energy compared to other energy sources, in terms of sustainability, economics, and energy independence.
