Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) over four or five years, delivered in-class at the North Oshawa campus, and covers the nuclear fuel cycle from mining through plant operation to waste management. Coursework includes nuclear plant design, radiation protection, nuclear chemistry and materials, heat transport and steam-generation systems, and nuclear physics, addressing both the current fleet of reactors and emerging designs such as supercritical-water, fast, and fusion reactors. Students train in facilities including a Corrosion and Electrochemistry Laboratory, an Environmental Radiation Laboratory, a Nuclear Simulation Laboratory, and a Radiation Protection Laboratory. A direct-entry co-op option provides full-time, paid work terms throughout the degree, and the program includes a capstone and an undergraduate thesis. Students can extend to five years through the Bachelor of Engineering and Management option, which adds business and management coursework. It suits students aiming at careers such as nuclear engineer, energy systems engineer, or nuclear commissioning specialist in the nuclear power industry.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Tech University states no admission requirements specific to Nuclear Engineering beyond the university-wide Ontario secondary-school pathway and its general English proficiency policy. Applicants need the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/4M credits, including English (ENG4U) at a minimum 60 per cent, Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) and Physics (SPH4U), plus a combined minimum 70 per cent average across the prerequisite math and science courses with no single grade below 60 per cent. Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimums does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, or an IB Diploma or certificate with a minimum grade of 4 in English A, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins each September.
