Schools What universities worldwide offer nuclear engineering programs?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the limited options for nuclear engineering programs in Canada and seeks alternatives globally. A variety of universities offering nuclear engineering degrees in Europe, Asia, and Australia are mentioned. Notable institutions include Uppsala University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Spain, and Tohoku University and the University of Tokyo in Japan. In China, Tsinghua University and the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) are recognized for their nuclear programs. Additional resources for finding universities include the European Nuclear Education Network and specific university websites. The conversation emphasizes the need for further research to uncover more opportunities in the field.

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!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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

http://www.ucm.es/centros/webs/en/index.php - but more like engineering physics

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.

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
