The international Bachelor in Nuclear Engineering is a one year program designed for two types of students: those who have finished a three year Bachelor's degree and want to acquire a specialization in nuclear engineering or those pursuing a four year degree and want to do their last year in a highly specialized environment dedicated to nuclear engineering. In either case, upon completion of the program, students will be granted a diploma from the Grenoble INP - Phelma Engineering school. The program is based on series of interdisciplinary and nuclear specific courses divided in three modules -nuclear sciences (interaction of radiation with matter, nuclear reactors, nuclear instrumentation etc.) engineering sciences (mathematics, thermodynamics, heat transfer etc.) and languages/sports and it prepares students to be able to perform competently in occupational areas such as reactor operations, health physics, quality assurance, instrumentation and control technology, as well as in related areas in the nuclear technology field. Objectives Obtaining a diploma in Bachelor of Nuclear Engineering may be a first step towards a promising future career.
