Study Details: Part-time: 2 years
With the UK Government’s Civil Nuclear Roadmap to 2050 targeting the largest expansion of nuclear power in over 70 years, this programme is designed to equip engineers with the critical skills needed to meet the nation's growing demand for low-carbon energy and advanced nuclear capabilities.
We have developed this MSc programme in partnership with Rolls-Royce Submarines and the University of Sheffield. This two-year, part-time programme is specifically tailored to meet the strategic workforce needs of the Product Engineering for Nuclear Sector. You’ll gain advanced knowledge in both design and manufacturing engineering, preparing you to take a lead in developing the next generation of nuclear products.
This programme is designed for employees within the Nuclear Engineering sector that are working on product engineering, particularly those that may need to upskill through strategic workforce planning to meet the emerging sector demand. Entry requirements will align with existing industry and academic standards, subject to approval by the programme leader.
You must be employed within an engineering context to complete the Masters. The programme will expect you to use your business context to complete aspects of the assessments. Those working in an engineering role holding a BENg/ BSc in Manufacturing, Mechanical or Materials is preferred. Recognition of prior experience may be considered to access this programme.
Entry requirements will align with existing industry and academic standards, subject to approval by the programme leader.
