about the programme
The programme prepares students for the highly specialised field of decommissioning nuclear of facilities and radioactive waste management. Studies combine knowledge of nuclear engineering, radiation safety, chemistry, physics, legislation, and safety management. Emphasis is placed on practical teaching, which includes laboratory work, computational exercises, excursions to operational facilities, and training in communication with the public. Experts from the field, for example from the State Office for Nuclear Safety or companies actively engaged in decommissioning, take part in the teaching.
Programme content
Students will attend core courses focused on:
- contamination and methods of decontamination,
- chemistry of problematic radionuclides,
- radioactive waste management.
career prospects
Graduates find employment in research institutions, state administration (e.g., the State Office for Nuclear Safety, the Radioactive Waste Repository Authority), industry, or in institutions focused on nuclear safety, decontamination, or radioactive waste repository management. Thanks to the programme’s multidisciplinary approach, graduates can also work in project planning, legislation, or public communication. The programme also prepares graduates for continuing their education in doctoral programmes in nuclear engineering or nuclear chemistry.
