Nuclear Engineering

Clean, affordable and reliably available energy is of paramount importance for the well-being of industrialized economies and the development of emerging countries.Nuclear power is one of the principal options for closing the growing energy gap in a mid-term perspective and, depending on the availability of new generations of nuclear facilities and technologies, also a potentially crucial resource in the long-term.Students spend the 1st semester at EPFL, the 2nd at ETH Zürich, and the 3rd and 4th principally at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI).Holders of the Master of Science EPF-ETH degree in Nuclear engineering qualify for an interesting, multidisciplinary profession with excellent job opportunities in industry, research and national authorities. Tasks that are on the agenda represent scientific and technical challenges for motivated young engineers and researchers.
