Introduction
The joint master's programme in Nuclear Energy educates tomorrow’s nuclear engineers on how to address the key technical, social and environmental challenges faced by the industry. Going beyond the scope of traditional nuclear education, the programme helps tomorrow’s engineers understand nuclear power in the context of a diverse energy mix. The programme is offered by four European universities through EIT InnoEnergy.
Smart Electrical Networks and Systems at KTH
Electric power engineering is a critical component in the creation of a more sustainable energy supply. The joint master's programme in Smart Electrical Networks and Systems enables you to develop the technical and entrepreneurial skills needed to design smart grids that integrate renewable energy sources, manage and control power quality, use data-driven applications to enhance electrical solutions and lead the development of innovations such as battery applications, electric mobility and more...
The programme is offered at the following universities:
- KTH: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
- TU/e: Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands
- KU Leuven, Belgium
- Grenoble INP Institute of Technology, France
- UPC: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech, Barcelona, Spain
You will pursue your first year of studies at KTH Royal Institute of Technology or Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya BarcelonaTech, and your second year at one of the other partner universities. You will also be exposed to the know how and expertise of AGH: University of Science and Technology in Poland and Uppsala University in Sweden, who are part of specific programme modules. The business and entrepreneurial elements of the programme are delivered by ESADE Business School in Spain.

Curriculum
Nuclear Energy at KTH
A new generation of advanced nuclear technologies offers unparalleled power, speed and scalability to dramatically accelerate the transition to a low or even post-carbon energy landscape. At the same time, innovations in waste management have dramatically reduced risk and negative impact on the environment.
Experts across the globe coincide on the potential of nuclear energy in the fight against climate change. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlights the need for nuclear energy to achieve rapid decarbonisation. In fact, the four most promising pathways that could limit global warming by 1.5°C by 2050 include nuclear energy. The possibilities are clear. And enormously exciting.
To drive innovation and accelerate safe and effective deployment, we now have an urgent need for a new generation of engineers – change leaders who have the big-picture understanding, the world-class technical skills, the entrepreneurial tools and the innovation mindset to fully leverage this opportunity. To overcome the challenges. And to play a critical role in forging a post-carbon future. The joint master’s programme in Nuclear Energy is your fast track to a world-class career at the cutting edge of innovation in the global energy transition.
The programme is offered at the following universities:
- KTH Royal Institute of Technology, in Sweden
- UPC: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech, Barcelona, Spain
- Grenoble INP Institute of Technology, France
- Université Paris Saclay, France
- Université Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL), France
- École des Ponts ParisTech (ENPC), France
- Institut Polytechnique de Paris, France
