원자력공학과

For 원자력공학과, tuition is 7,680,000 KRW per year.

Nuclear engineering covers the design, operation, and safety of nuclear reactors and related technologies used for power generation, medical applications, and research. Doctoral coursework in this field typically includes reactor physics, radiation protection, nuclear materials, and thermal-hydraulics, alongside training in research methods used to study nuclear systems and safety. Students learn to model reactor behavior, analyze radiation effects on materials and living systems, and evaluate the safety and efficiency of nuclear power technologies. Graduates from doctoral programs in nuclear engineering commonly pursue careers in nuclear power plant design and operation, regulatory agencies, national research laboratories, or university faculty positions focused on nuclear science and engineering. The Department of Nuclear Engineering at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) offers this doctoral program in Ulsan, South Korea, with a duration of eight semesters and admission in March and August. Instruction is delivered in English, so international doctoral students can pursue nuclear engineering research without first completing coursework in Korean, although some Korean is useful for daily life in Ulsan. Doctoral study combines coursework in advanced nuclear science with laboratory and computational research, and students are expected to complete an original dissertation under faculty supervision. This program is intended for applicants who hold a relevant bachelor's or master's degree in nuclear engineering, physics, mechanical engineering, or a related field and want to pursue advanced research training at UNIST in South Korea.
