Master in Nuclear Engineering (MSc) - LUT (Lappeenranta)

The master in Nuclear Engineering (MSc) will address the increasing need for manpower in the nuclear industry as a result of new power plant projects, new nuclear energy applications, and long-term use of existing power plants.

This field has a continuous need for professionals to oversee nuclear power plants, including reactors, power conversion systems, and safety systems, taking into consideration and putting into practice advances in science and technology.

Nuclear power is a key component in the transition towards clean and feasible energy systems. Nuclear power has an excellent track record in providing abundant and dispatchable clean electricity for the electrification of society. Nuclear heating and nuclear propulsion are emerging as new applications. In all applications, nuclear power must be safe.

At LUT, nuclear engineering research and education focus on three aspects: nuclear power plant engineering, nuclear safety, and reactors for new applications – including next-generation technologies.
