About this course
MEng Hons in Nuclear Engineering (Study Abroad), a chemical engineering degree centred on the application of engineering principles to nuclear systems, energy production, and specialist technologies. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, Entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The five-year degree incorporates a dedicated year spent studying abroad at an approved international partner university during the fourth year. The first year covers foundational engineering through Applied Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Engineering Skills, Engineering Systems, Engineering Thermofluids, and Fundamental Engineering Mathematics. The second year introduces specialist nuclear topics via modules such as Engineering Materials, Fluid Mechanics and Mass Transfer, Nuclear Decommissioning and Disposal, Nuclear Engineering, Power Engineering, and Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. Third-year studies explore advanced technical concepts through Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship, Nuclear Medicine, Nuclear Monitoring and Protection, and Power Electronics and Applications. The final fifth year features major practical components including the Engineering Project, Individual Project, and Industrial Consultancy, alongside optional modules in Control and Machine Learning and Renewable Energy Systems.
