Program details

Overview

The Master of Engineering in Nuclear Engineering Design is offered through the University Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering (UNENE), a partnership among five Ontario universities, with emphasis on nuclear power reactor technology. The program is course-based and delivered part-time over roughly five years (15 terms), aimed primarily at working professionals in the nuclear industry; where feasible, courses are presented at nuclear industry sites and classes are offered on weekends to accommodate students' work schedules. The curriculum is designed with input from, and to enhance the educational materials of, partner industry firms. Admission is intended for applicants who currently live and work in Southwestern Ontario; international applicants are considered only after relocating to the area. The program accepts applications on a continuing (rolling) basis rather than a fixed annual deadline. Graduates gain advanced, industry-oriented training in nuclear engineering design while remaining employed in the sector.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants require an Honours Bachelor's degree in Engineering with grades equivalent to a mid-B average or better; three or more years of post-baccalaureate engineering experience in industry is recommended. Applicants with honours degrees in Computer Science, Physics or related fields are also eligible to apply. The program is intended for individuals who currently live and work within Southwestern Ontario; international applicants are considered only once they have relocated to the area. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Western's English language proficiency requirements.
