Master in Nuclear power engineering

Tuition is 4,500 EUR per year; the application deadline for Master in Nuclear power engineering is Jul 21, 2027.

Nuclear Power Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology is a second-degree, master's specialization delivered over four semesters in collaboration with the university's Faculty of Physics and the National Centre for Nuclear Research. The program is taught in English, with an annual tuition fee of 4500 EUR, and candidates can apply either before the summer or before the winter semester, starting their studies from the first or the second semester accordingly. The university describes this as the only specialization in Poland where exercises on reactor physics are held at the MARIA research reactor at the National Centre for Nuclear Research in Świerk. The program also includes a compulsory diploma internship of at least two months at a nuclear installation, which students can complete abroad, in countries such as France, Germany, the United States, Sweden, Switzerland, or Belgium, or within Poland, at institutions including the National Centre for Nuclear Research or the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology. Career paths open to graduates include research and development departments within companies, doctoral studies or research projects at universities and research centers, positions in state administration units such as the nuclear regulatory body or technical inspection bodies, and roles at energy companies including PGE, Enea, Tauron, EDF, GDF-Suez, RWE, Vattenfall, Areva, General Electric, and Westinghouse. The program sits within the broader field of nuclear engineering, which covers reactor physics, radiation protection, thermal hydraulics, and nuclear plant safety and operation. Warsaw's position as Poland's capital and largest academic center, combined with the direct link to a working research reactor, gives students in this program a route into both industrial and regulatory careers connected to nuclear power generation.

Warsaw University of Technology is the premier technical research university in Poland, combining a rich 200-year history with cutting-edge innovation. It is consistently ranked as the top engineering school in the country, attracting the brightest minds from across the globe.
