All these modules are developed specifically for the Nuclear Energy course.  They draw on existing teaching in Nuclear Power Engineering from Part IIB of the Engineering Tripos and Nuclear Materials from Part III of the Natural Sciences Tripos.  Also, Nuclear Technology Policy makes use of some material from the Technology Policy MPhil in the Judge Business School.

Students are required to take a majority (equivalent of at least five standard modules) of the core nuclear energy material, including those marked with asterisks, which are compulsory.

Course Requirements

Students are required to take a majority of the core nuclear energy subjects, including three compulsory taught nuclear modules:

Teaching is through lectures, seminars (which all students are expected to attend), supervisions, distinguished lectures and dissertation supervision. Assessment is through written exam papers taken early in the Easter Term with a 15,000 word marked dissertation on a research topic which is to be completed by the end of August.

Elective Modules

Students chose between three and five modules; October to March.

The following list indicates the elective modules planned to be offered in the 2012/13 session. Modules are drawn from existing courses offered within the Engineering Tripos, Natural Sciences Tripos and as part of MPhils taught by the Judge Business School.
