Masters of Science (M.Sc.) in Engineering Sciences with Nuclear Engineering

This M.Sc. focuses on the optimisation of nuclear reactor design. This degree thus focuses more on the so-called “hard-core” skills such as using mathematics, physics, and computer simulations to improve nuclear reactor designs.

Masters of Science (M.Sc.) in Engineering Sciences with Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Technology Management

This M.Sc. focuses on the optimisation of Nuclear Technology Management, which focuses more on the so-called soft-skills, especially management tasks such as analysing the profitability of different options, budgeting, and nuclear project management. 

While our two PGDips are quite similar in content, the differences become much larger when you go to the Master's degree where a focus on nuclear technology management will give you a very different training than a focus on nuclear reactor design. So, students should spend time before they choose which PGDip they want to enroll for first to decide whether they want to go into a career in nuclear reactor design or nuclear technology management.
