Accessible to adults

 

A significant number of the students (about half) are young engineers professionally involved in the Belgian nuclear sector. The complementary degree will give them access to positions of responsibility.

The advanced electives are in part intended as continuing training and are open to foreign participants.

To make it easier for adults to take these courses, they are given as modules. Each course runs from several days to two or three weeks according to its size (number of credits). The timetable is meticulously arranged in advance to enable students engaged in professional life to manage their time between courses and work in consultation with their employer. In addition, these students may spread their program over two years.
