Master of Science in Nuclear Applications (MNA)

Students acquire a wide-ranging, integrated knowledge and understanding of the scientific and technical fundamentals of nuclear technologies. They have at their disposal a critical understanding of the basic theories, principles and methods dealt with during their studies, and are in a position to broaden this knowledge independently. Moreover, students gain the ability to collect and interpret data and use it to infer scientifically based judgements, as well as to implement appropriate solutions that take into account social, scientific and ethical issues, and to construct continuous learning processes independently. They learn how to formulate and defend opinions and solutions with reference to their specific field, to exchange information, ideas, problems and solutions with experts and laymen, and to work responsibly in modern professional life. Our instruction methods include problem-based approaches and integrated teamwork. By taking modules in business and management, research planning and scientific writing, students obtain skills necessary for their future success. Our modern, well-equipped labs play a major role in ensuring that students are later able to apply their knowledge to their chosen careers. Advanced students plan projects together, work towards a common goal and then present the results in a written report as well as to the class. Topics include all modern applications of nuclear technologies. Students gain hands-on experience during the programme. Two independent projects are integrated to enable students to focus their studies further. Study Focus: Nuclear Power and Fuel Cycle Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistry Radiopharmacy Medical Physics Radiation Safety Nuclear Waste Management
