Program description
Specialization: Nuclear Power Engineering
Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering
The programme of the studies is based on advanced theory and engineering methods. The students learn about recent achievements in the field of nuclear power and the methods and tools that prepare them for taking managing positions in industry, or to undertake research activities. Special attention is given to modelling and simulation methods and codes. The programme is realised in close collaboration with foreign and national universities, research institutes and companies, and is supported by visiting professors and industrial specialists. The last semester of the 4-semester study is devoted to a researchbased internship at a nuclear installation, directly connected with the preparation of the master diploma thesis. Graduates of Nuclear Power Engineering receive profound education in the area of nuclear reactor physics, nuclear reactor modelling and simulation, nuclear instrumentation and control, contemporary and future nuclear reactor systems, and nuclear power plant safety, operation and maintenance. They are prepared for creative work and research in the field of design, operation and control of nuclear power and other nuclear installations, as well as of classical power and related installations. This work could be focused on energy conversion processes in power machines and equipment, conducting modernisation of systems and facilities, implementation of new technologies, establishing small enterprises and their management.

Job opportunities:
The graduate is able to:
• independently solve problems within engineering processes performance, as regards energy processing, starting from basic power engineering equipment and system, through analysis of their operation, operation of the same, and ending with economic matters or proper selection of equipment and systems;
• use the knowledge of the issues related to sustainable country development and the growing role of problems related to environmentally friendly generation, transfer and distribution of energy.
Career opportunities:
• Energy companies (including generation, distribution and sale of
electricity)
• CHP stations and municipal power companies, public administration related to energy
• Suppliers of equipment and services for the energy sector (foreign and Polish companies)
• Energy sector companies including the construction of power facilities and installation of equipment
