Course summary

The multi award-winning National College for Nuclear @BTC has truly dedicated state-of-the-art facilities including a reactor simulator and virtual reality training environment and will provide tomorrow’s engineers with high-tech, specialist training to support the nuclear industry. Working with our industrial partners such as EDF Energy, AWE, Cavendish Nuclear and Magnox ensures the training and education provides a world-class experience that develops the skills needed in this high profile, technical and demanding sector. These partnerships allow you to gain technical knowledge and real practical experience, along with behavioural and personal skills, required for your future career. These are acquired through a mix of learning in the workplace, learning through the National College for Nuclear and the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a real-world context. There are 4 modules taught per year (full-time), covering a range of mechanical, electrical and control engineering, alongside nuclear specific modules. These are taught in seminar-style classroom and workshop settings, in a mix of face-to-face and online study. Mathematics is embedded throughout, rather than taught as a separate module.
