• The Master of Engineering (M.Eng) in Nuclear Engineering at the University of California is a 1-year program.
  • It is an on-campus program offered on both a full-time and part-time basis.
  • The Department of Nuclear Engineering offers three graduate degree programs:
    • Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
    • Master of Engineering (MEng)
    • Public Policy (MPP)/Nuclear Engineering (MS) Concurrent Degree Program.
  • The accelerated program is designed to develop professional engineering leaders who understand the technical, environmental, economic, and social issues involved in the design and operation of nuclear engineering devices, systems, and organizations. 

  • The MEng degree requires a minimum of 25 units of coursework in three areas:

    • The Core Leadership curriculum (8 units)
    • Technical Specialization in NE (minimum 12 units)
    • Capstone project (5 units).
  • Students must submit a team capstone project report. The project allows students to practice, with guidance, the technical and non-technical skills that they learn in the classroom.
  • Most technical class sizes are 20 students or less. Leadership courses range from 25-50 students.
  • Students will benefit from the small class size that means close interaction with the faculty and fellow students in the graduate program.
  • The Comprehensive Exam will be divided into two components, one devoted to leadership topics (to be administered by the Fung Institute), and the other to technical topics (to be administered by individual departments within COE).
  • The exam may be written, oral, or a combination of the two.
  • Berkeley is one of the top Nuclear Engineering programs in the world.
