Manufacturing a Nuclear Future
Saturday 19 May 2012
The Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) is the trade association and representative voice of Britain's civil nuclear industry. It represents more than 270 companies and some 59,000 UK nuclear workers. The NIA supports the commercial interests of its member as part of a diverse energy mix for the UK including renewables, clean coal and gas, with nuclear at the heart of a low-carbon future.

University of Cambridge - Educating the Nuclear Energy Leaders of Tomorrow

As a response to the worldwide nuclear renaissance, and to ensure the UK education system remains a forefront provider of both high levels of technical and business competence together with unremitting attention to high standards of quality and safety, the University of Cambridge is creating a premium Masters-level degree course in Nuclear Energy starting in 2011.     

Accompanying the University’s current undergraduate teaching, the new Masters course will be led by the Department of Engineering but run in conjunction with the Judge Business School (JBS), and the Departments of Physics, Materials Science & Metallurgy, and Earth Sciences. 

It will provide:
  • a thorough grounding in the engineering, scientific and safety aspects of nuclear power;
  • a good understanding of nuclear technology policy together with relevant business and policy understanding;
  • an appreciation of the wider policy contexts of electricity generation in the 21st century. 

An overview factsheet providing details of the new course can be downloaded here or from the SC@nuclear Digital Library.
