Programme Overview
The University of California, Berkeley Master of Engineering in Nuclear Engineering is a professional graduate programme combining advanced nuclear engineering with leadership and applied technology development.
Students deepen their technical expertise while developing professional skills needed to manage complex engineering projects and technological organisations.
Potential technical areas include nuclear systems, reactor engineering, radiation science, nuclear materials, computational methods and advanced nuclear-energy technologies.
The programme is particularly suitable for engineers seeking industry-focused graduate education rather than a research-intensive doctoral pathway.
Berkeley's nuclear programme benefits from the University's long-standing connections with national laboratories and major energy and technology organisations.
Entry Requirements
Applicants must hold a recognised Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification.
Suitable academic preparation normally includes engineering, physics or another closely related technical field.
Applicants should demonstrate strong quantitative and technical preparation for advanced nuclear-engineering study.
The professional MEng application evaluates academic background, technical preparation, professional goals and overall programme fit.
GRE scores are not required for the Nuclear Engineering MEng according to Berkeley Graduate Division's current programme listing.
English-Language Requirements
International applicants who do not qualify for an English-language exemption must satisfy UC Berkeley Graduate Division's current English-proficiency requirement.
Accepted tests include approved TOEFL and IELTS examinations.
Applicants should verify the current minimum scores, validity periods and exemption criteria before applying.
