To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list those universities offering a course in nuclear engineering; and if she will make a statement.
No universities currently offer an undergraduate course specifically in nuclear engineering. However, a report by the Health and Safety Executive/ Nuclear Installations Inspectorate in October 2000, "Nuclear Education and Research in British Universities", listed eight higher education institutions (HEIs) offering undergraduate courses with nuclear engineering modules. Those were:
Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine
University of Plymouth
The following 12 institutions offered masters courses relevant to nuclear education:
University of Birmingham
City University
Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine
