The Bachelor in Nuclear Engineering is a one-year international program designed for two profiles:
- Students with a bachelor’s degree (Bac+3) wishing to specialize in the nuclear field,
- Students enrolled in a 4-year course who want to spend their final year in a highly specialized environment.
Upon completion of the program, graduates receive a diploma from Grenoble INP – Phelma.
Program objectives
Train engineers capable of working in a variety of nuclear fields, such as :
- Safe operation of current and future reactors,
- Development of new concepts (molten-salt reactors, accelerator-driven systems, etc.),
- The fuel cycle and sustainable management of radioactive waste,
- Instrumentation, instrumentation and control, radiation protection and quality assurance.
Teaching organization
The program is structured around three main modules:
- Nuclear sciences: radiation-matter interaction, reactor physics, nuclear instrumentation…
- Engineering sciences: mathematics, thermodynamics, heat transfer…
- Modern languages & sports
Research environment
Thanks to the high density of laboratories in Grenoble, students have access to numerous internship opportunities:
- LPSC: nuclear structure, molten-salt reactors, thorium, accelerator-driven systems
- SIMAP: materials behavior under irradiation, multi-scale modeling
- LEPMI, and others
The teaching staff are also active researchers, supporting students in their search for stimulating projects.
Job opportunities
Further studies at Master’s or PhD level, or direct entry into the following sectors:
- Nuclear industry (operation, maintenance, safety, etc.),
- Scientific research,
- National safety authorities or technical organizations.
