Nuclear engineering continues to be a growing field. In addition to the increasing ‘new build’ proposals in the western world, there is an existing set of reactors that require maintenance, servicing, operation and eventual decommissioning. There is waste to be managed and a fuel cycle that requires servicing and handling. All this requires engineers with an understanding of the unique environment of a nuclear site.

DELIVERY MODEA proportion of the course content will be

delivered by international experts in nuclear

engineering in an intensive mode. The

recommended program has been scheduled such

that the majority of Semester One classes are

delivered in this block, intensive mode.

StUdENt tEStimoNial“The Nuclear Engineering specialisation has exceeded

expectations that I had of UNSW. It is a valuable course which is delivered primarily by practising experts in nuclear engineering. My project work with ANSTO on control rod vibrations is providing me with practical experience of the issues that nuclear reactor operators face. I feel the degree is preparing me for future employment in the nuclear area and opening avenues for international opportunities.”
