Programme
The BNEN one-year progamme was created in close collaboration with representatives of the utility companies and power plants and teaches students in all aspects of nuclear technology and its applications, creating nuclear engineering experts in the broad sense.
Exercises and hands-on sessions in the specialised laboratories of SCK CEN complement the theoretical classes and strengthen the development of nuclear skills and attitudes in a research environment. Various technical visits are organised to research and industrial nuclear facilities.
The compulsory modules are chosen in such a way that the bulk of the programme is focused on nuclear engineering. By introducing the option of at least three elective courses, the BNEN students have the possibility to choose either a direction into ‘power generation’ or either into ‘radioprotection/radioecology /…’.
