Probably the most familiar nuclear engineering application is the production of electricity by means of nuclear power. Over 30% of electricity in the EU and roughly 55% in Belgium is provided by nuclear power. Moreover, at a small absolute but high relative scale, Belgium developed on its territory almost all kinds of nuclear activities: power plants, fuel production, radioelement production, engineering companies, accelerator design and fabrication, waste management, safety management, nuclear medicine, research and higher education.
BNEN, the Belgian Nuclear higher Education Network consisting of KU Leuven, Universiteit Gent, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Université de Liège, Université Catholique de Louvain and the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK CEN, organises a one-year (60 credits) advanced master programme in nuclear engineering.
The primary objective of the BNEN programme is to educate young engineers in nuclear engineering and its applications and to develop and maintain high-level nuclear competences in Belgium and abroad. BNEN catalyses networking between academia, research centres, industry and other nuclear stakeholders. All teaching activities take place at SCK CEN. Courses are organised in English and in a modular way; teaching in blocks of one to three weeks for each module allows optimal time management for students and lecturers, facilitates registration for individual modules, and allows easy access for international students.
The Belgian Master of Nuclear Engineering programme is embedded in the European ENEN association, a non-profit international organisation of universities and research centres for the preservation and further development of higher nuclear education and expertise.

Students with a degree obtained at an institution outside the Flemish Community:
Diploma requirements
- the holders of an academic degree of “master en sciences de l'ingénieur, orientation Ingénieur civil” from the “Communauté française de Belgique”, given a sufficient scientific/technical background required for the BNEN courses, whereby the BNEN Steering Committee may impose additional background courses (for a maximum number of 15 ECTS), taking into account the contents of the curriculum already completed;
- the holders of an academic degree similar and considered equivalent to those mentioned above, under the same conditions;
- the holders of an academic degree similar and considered equivalent to those mentioned above, delivered by the Royal Military School, under the same conditions.
- the holders of an academic degree of “master en sciences industrielles ou de MA en sciences de l'ingénieur industriel” from the “Communauté française de Belgique”, whereby the BNEN Steering Committee will impose an additional set of background courses (for a maximum number of 60 ECTS), taking into account the contents of the curriculum already completed, and whereby previously relevant background courses may be valorized en accepted for credit transfer;
* If the student registers in an institution of the “Communauté française de Belgique”, these additional credits are then part of the « master de spécialisation » the student will enroll in and they are a prerequisite for the regular BNEN programme of 60 ECTS.
- the holders of an academic degree of “master en sciences chimiques, physiques, mathématiques ou informatiques” or “master en sciences de l'ingénieur orientation bioingénieur” from the “Communauté française de Belgique”, or holders of an academic degree similar and equivalent to those just mentioned, whereby the BNEN Steering Committee will impose an additional set of background courses (for a maximum number of 60 ECTS), taking into account the contents of the curriculum already completed, and whereby previously relevant background courses may be valorized en accepted for credit transfer;
* If the student registers in an institution of the “Communauté française de Belgique”, these additional credits are then part of the «master de spécialisation» the student will enroll in, and they are a prerequisite for the regular BNEN programme of 60 ECTS.
- the holders of a foreign academic degree judged similar to the academic degrees delivered by either the “Communauté française de Belgique” or the “Vlaamse Gemeenschap van België”, mentioned in the above items, under the same conditions (i.e. basic master programme of at least 300 ECTS and depending on the acquired background in the curriculum and the level of abstraction) and according to the prescriptions of the respective decrees.
