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.

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
