This course is one of two Nuclear degrees available at UCS, the other being Mechanical Engineering with Nuclear which can be found here.
The multi award-winning National College for Nuclear has truly dedicated state-of-the-art facilities including a reactor simulator and virtual reality training environment and will provide tomorrow’s engineers with high-tech, specialist training to support the nuclear industry.
Working with our industry partners such as, EDF Energy, AWE, Cavendish Nuclear, Magnox and MoD ensure the training and education provides a world-class experience that develops the skills needed in this high profile, technical and demanding sector. These partnerships allow you to gain technical knowledge and real practical experience, along with behavioural and personal skills, required for your future career. These are acquired through a mix of learning in the workplace, learning through the National College for Nuclear and the opportunity to practise and embed new skills in a real-world context.
Upon successful completion of the Degree and curtain conditions fulfilled, EDF have offered our Graduates guaranteed interviews for their highly regarded and sought-after Graduate scheme.
Modules are taught covering a range of electrical and control engineering topics, alongside nuclear specific modules. These are taught in seminar-style classroom and workshop settings, in a mix of face-to-face and online study. Specialist guest speakers from the industry enhance your knowledge and understanding of the sector. Mathematics is embedded throughout, rather than taught as a separate module.
Modules may include:
