Program Overview

Introduction to the Double Master's Program

The Double Master's Program in Industrial Engineering and Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection is a unique opportunity for students to earn two master's degrees in a shorter period of time. This program is designed to take advantage of the synergies between the two fields, allowing students to complete both master's degrees with a reduced temporal and economic cost.

Program Description

The Double Master's Program consists of the completion of two independent master's degrees: the Master's in Industrial Engineering (MUII) and the Master's in Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (MUSNPR). The program is designed to facilitate the completion of both master's degrees, with a focus on the "Generation of Energy (Nuclear Engineering)" itinerary. Students who complete this program will earn two master's degrees, with a reduced course load of approximately one semester less than if they were to complete both master's degrees separately.

Benefits of the Program

The Double Master's Program offers several benefits, including:

• A reduced temporal and economic cost
• The opportunity to earn two master's degrees in a shorter period of time
• A focus on the "Generation of Energy (Nuclear Engineering)" itinerary
• Recognition of elective courses in the MUII program as equivalent courses in the MUSNPR program

Program Structure

The Double Master's Program has a total of 156 ECTS credits. The program is designed to allow students to complete both master's degrees simultaneously, with a planned schedule that takes into account the itineraries of both programs.

Career Opportunities

The Double Master's Program is designed to respond to the growing demand for professionals in the field of nuclear engineering. In the European context, the nuclear sector is expected to experience a high demand for graduates in the coming years, due to the construction of new nuclear reactors, the extension of the life of existing reactors, and the decommissioning of older reactors. Additionally, the globalization of the economy and the increasing presence of European companies in international projects contribute to the need for qualified personnel in this field.

Demand for Graduates

The demand for graduates in nuclear engineering is high, both in Spain and in the European context. The extension of the life of some nuclear power plants, the decommissioning of others, and the large number of radioactive facilities (industries, hospitals, clinics, research centers, etc.) and nuclear installations (nuclear fuel manufacturing, waste management, etc.) create a need for personnel trained in industrial engineering with a specialization in nuclear safety and radiation protection. This demand is shared not only by Spanish companies but also by the regulatory authority, the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN).

Positive Impact of the Program

The promotion of studies in this field of specialization has a double positive effect:

• It improves the safety of numerous radioactive and nuclear facilities
• It satisfies the demand for professionals from companies and public organizations in this field.

Credits and Duration

• Total credits: 156 ECTS
• The program is designed to be completed in a shorter period of time than if the two master's degrees were completed separately.
