Nuclear Power Engineering

Responsible: Nikołaj Uzunow, PhD, Eng

Starting from February, 2013, the Nuclear Power Engineering specialization will be instructed only in English.

Nuclear Power Engineering is a II-degree (master) specialization, realised within 4 semesters in collaboration with the Faculty of Physics, WUT, and the National Centre for Nuclear Research.

A two-step admissions procedure is provided:

  • Polish students first have to register on the WUT "Kandydaci" web-site (marking "Power Engineering"), and next to send their documents to the Dean's office (with a remark "Nuclear Power Engineering");
  • foreign students first have to register on the web-site of the WUT International Students Office (marking "Power Engineering"), and next to send their documents to the WUT International Students Office (with a remark "Nuclear Power Engineering").

Candidates may apply before the summer, or before the winter semester - the studies may begin from the first, or from the second semester.

Collaboration with leading universities (KTH - Royal Institute of Technology,  Stockholm; TUD - Technische Universitaet Dresden;  Oregon State University; et al),

research institutes (NCBJ - National Centre for Nuclear Research; IChTJ - Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology; CEA - Commissariat a'lEnergie Atomique, France; HZDR - Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rosendorf; CERN - Organisation Europeene pour la Recherche Nucleaire, Geneve; et al),

and enterprises (PGE Energia Jądrowa; Areva; Westinghouse; General Electric - Hitachi; EDF; GDF-Suez; CEZ; et al).

Nuclear Power Engineering at WUT is the only specialization in Poland, within which exercises on reactor physics are held at the MARIA research reactor in NCBJ in Świerk, as well as at least two-month compulsory diploma internship at a nuclear installation - foreign (France, Germany, USA, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium) or national (NCBJ, IChTJ)!

Career opportunities:

  • company research and development departments;
  • universities and research centers - doctor studies/research projects;
  • state administration units (nuclear regulatory body, technical inspection);
  • branch companies - PGE, Enea, Tauron, EDF, GDF-Suez, RWE, Vattefall, Areva, General Electric, Westinghouse.
