About the course

Organizing institutions

This interuniversity 'master after master' program (60 ECTS) is jointly organized by the Belgian Nuclear Higher Education Network (BNEN), a consortium of six Belgian universities: Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Universiteit Gent, Université de Liège , Université Catholique de Louvain et Université Libre de Bruxelles and the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK-CEN). Students can enroll for this master program at each of the six partner universities.This master's programme lets you explore all facets of nuclear technology and its applications, creating nuclear engineering experts in the broader sense. The programme includes important areas of material science, with a particular interest in the fuel cycle, as well as radiation protection and nuclear measurements. All subjects are taught by academics appointed by the partner universities. Exercises and hands-on sessions take place in the specialised laboratories and research reactors of SCK CEN and are supervised by members of the research staff. Moreover, the programme works closely with representatives of utility companies and power plants and you'll have ample opportunities to visit research and industrial nuclear facilities. Last but not least, your master's thesis offers the chance for an internship in industry or a research lab. In other words: you're sure to develop your nuclear skills and attitudes in environments at the forefront of international nuclear research.
