Program Overview

Introduction to the Bachelor's Degree in Nuclear Engineering

The Bachelor's Degree in Nuclear Engineering is a one-year program designed for students who have finished a three-year Bachelor's degree and want to acquire a specialization in nuclear engineering, or those pursuing a four-year degree and want to do their last year in a highly specialized environment dedicated to nuclear engineering.

Overview

• Degree awarded: Bachelor
• Graduation year: Bac + 3
• Graduation level: Level 6
• Location: GRENOBLE Scientific Polygon
• Duration: 1 year (2 semesters)
• Available as: Initial education, Continuing education

Program Objectives

Obtaining a diploma in Bachelor of Nuclear Engineering may be a first step towards a promising future career. The students will qualify (often after completing a Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering and, if need be, after obtaining a PhD degree) for an interesting, multidisciplinary profession with excellent job opportunities in industry, research, and national authorities.

Program Specificities

• All courses are given in English in an international environment.
• Courses are strongly oriented to problem-solving and team work.
• All professors are active researchers at the LPSC or other laboratories.
• Students will have a high-level qualification, which enables them to enroll and successfully continue their studies in the Master programs.

Training Partners and Laboratories

There are many opportunities to perform research internships thanks to a very high density of academic laboratories in the Grenoble area, such as LPSC, SIMAP, LEPMI, and others. Professors involved in the bachelor program are themselves active researchers and help students to find stimulating research projects.

Admission

• Tuition fees: 10,000 €
• Available as: Initial education, Continuing education

Entry Requirements

The international Bachelor in Nuclear Engineering is designed for two types of students:

• Those who have finished a three-year Bachelor's degree and want to acquire a specialization in nuclear engineering.
• Those pursuing a four-year degree and want to do their last year in a highly specialized environment dedicated to nuclear engineering.

Program Structure

• Course duration: 1 year (2 semesters)
• Internships abroad are possible.

Program Details

Each semester is worth 30 ECTS credits, spread out over the different courses completed. Students must obtain a grade of at least 10/20 in each course to obtain the credits.

International Mobility

Students in this major benefit from many agreements between Grenoble Institute of Technology and partners around the globe in the form of exchange programs, dual-degree programs, internships, and more.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to perform competently in occupational areas such as reactor operations, health physics, quality assurance, instrumentation and control technology, as well as in related areas in the nuclear technology field.

Careers

Job opportunities in industry, research, and national authorities. Tasks that are on the agenda - like the safe and reliable operation of existing and new reactors, the development of novel reactor types, the sustainable supply of nuclear fuel, the closure of the fuel cycle, the disposal of radioactive waste without harm to the environment, and many others - represent scientific and technical challenges for motivated young engineers and researchers.

Further Learning Opportunities

With the Bachelor degree, it is possible to undertake a master degree everywhere in the world. At Grenoble INP-Phelma, registration to MaNuEn (Materials science for Nuclear Energy) master is possible.
