The next generation of nuclear talent
Nuclear science and engineering offer exciting and wide-ranging study and career opportunities across energy, technology, health, space and beyond.
The UK Government has highlighted an urgent shortage of high skill nuclear scientists and engineers, with many tens of thousands of workers needed by the 2030s, including a rapidly depleting cohort of subject matter experts.
We support the next generation of nuclear researchers, scientists, engineers and other professionals, and we are committed to making these opportunities accessible to people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
