I live in Canada, but the number of nuclear engineering universities we have is quite sad. Does anyone know where I could find a list of universities offering nuclear engineering degrees?

I don't just mean universities in the US, because I have already found plenty of lists of American universities (and I'm not too keen on studying there in the first place). Could someone provide me with some schools in other parts of the world, e.g. Europe, Asia, Australia?

Thank you muchly!

Here is a list of universities in France.

Although other European nations are listed, their pages may not have similarly comprehensive lists of universities.

Some courses listed here are taught at univerities that may have nuclear science or engineering programs.

One possibility in Germany http://www.tu-clausthal.de/info/

In Sweden, Uppsala University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology have nuclear science/engineering programs.

In Spain, there is Universidad Politécnica de Madrid or Universidad Complutense de Madrid

In Japan, Tohoku University had a program in nuclear engineering, but it may have been folded into Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. http://www.eng.tohoku.ac.jp/english/ugrad/ssme/
The Institute for Materials Research ( http://www.imr.tohoku.ac.jp/en/org/research/13.html ) does research on the effects of radiation on materials.

University of Tokyo has a nuclear engineering program

Tsinghua University in China has a nuclear energy program

This is just a sample. One will have to dig further for other opportunities.

I understand your frustration with the limited number of universities in Canada offering nuclear engineering programs. However, there are many universities worldwide that offer excellent programs in this field. Some universities in Europe that offer nuclear engineering programs include Imperial College London, University of Manchester, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. In Asia, you can look into programs at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tsinghua University, and Seoul National University. In Australia, you can consider University of New South Wales and University of Melbourne. It is important to research and compare these programs to find the best fit for your academic and career goals. Additionally, some universities may offer online or distance learning options for those unable to study on campus. I wish you the best of luck in your search for a suitable program.
