What universities worldwide offer nuclear engineering programs?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying universities worldwide that offer nuclear engineering programs. Participants are particularly interested in institutions outside of the United States, with a focus on options in Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses dissatisfaction with the limited number of nuclear engineering universities in Canada and seeks information on programs globally.
  • Another participant provides a list of universities in France and mentions that other European nations may not have comprehensive lists available.
  • Specific universities in Sweden, such as Uppsala University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, are highlighted for their nuclear science/engineering programs.
  • In Spain, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Universidad Complutense de Madrid are mentioned, though the latter is noted to be more focused on engineering physics.
  • Tohoku University in Japan is mentioned as having a nuclear engineering program, although there is uncertainty about its current status.
  • The University of Tokyo is confirmed to have a nuclear engineering program.
  • Tsinghua University in China is noted for its nuclear energy program.
  • Chalmers University in Sweden and TU Delft in the Netherlands are also mentioned as institutions with nuclear engineering programs.
  • USTC in China is identified as another university offering a nuclear engineering program.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants provide various universities and programs, but there is no consensus on a comprehensive list or the status of specific programs, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

Some participants reference external links for further information, but the completeness and accuracy of the provided lists are not verified within the discussion.

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.
