Nuclear Technology Education Consortium 
PROGRAMME SUMMARY
NTEC offers part-time and full-time postgraduate courses in Nuclear Science & Technology. An extremely wide range of topics is available, from Reactor Physics to Nuclear Waste Disposal. This breadth of study is made possible by drawing upon the research and teaching expertise of the consortium partners who together represent more than 90% of the nuclear Postgraduate Teaching expertise that resides in the UK’s universities and research institutes.
Individual subjects are presented in ‘short course’ modular format, providing excellent access to the programme for engineers and managers in full-time employment who wish to advance their skill and knowledge base.
A list of the modules is given below together with the institution responsible for their provision and where the module is held.
