Materials with Nuclear Engineering

This professionally accredited Master's applies materials science to nuclear engineering. Students study how materials are processed, structured and made to perform in demanding conditions, with a specialism in nuclear applications that builds on that foundation. The course examines the role of materials in energy, sustainability and nuclear safety, and combines scientific and engineering study. Teaching covers the characterisation of materials and their use in demanding environments, developing both scientific and engineering understanding of the discipline. Graduates pursue careers in nuclear energy, materials engineering, research and the wider energy sector. Students learn to evaluate material performance under realistic conditions and to consider the safety and environmental implications of their engineering decisions. Students finish the course with a clear understanding of materials in nuclear contexts.
