Master in Materials science and engineering

Master in Materials science and engineering

Materials for nuclear energy

Presentation and goals

The master in MaNuEn - Materials for Nuclear Energy - is an international master designed for students wishing to pursue a career in the nuclear industry, in R&D or working for research organisations. MaNuEn is a 2-year master that aims to cover the specificities of the materials used in the nuclear environment, whether fuel or components, with a particular focus on the durability of materials under irradiation. The second year of the master MaNuEn is shared with the Master of Science Innovation in Nuclear Energy - EMINE (first year at KTH in Sweden or the UPC in Spain).

The content of the program and courses was developed in collaboration with engineers from EDF and CEA. The second year takes place over two semesters : all the courses of the master are taught in the first half (september to january) : 2 specialised courses taught at CEA Cadarache (3 weeks in december) and the Materials Ageing Institute (2 weeks in january at EDF in Les Renardières) are part of the curriculum.

Start of the new academic year : early september

Train engineers or researchers in aspects related to materials and their durability in the nuclear field

Skills

• Science of materials for nuclear energy
