According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), there are currently 440 nuclear reactors in operation around the world. New reactors are being built in countries such as the US, China, the UK, France, Japan and Brazil, while other reactors are in permanent shutdown. Some of them have already been dismantled, others are currently in the process of being dismantled and others will be dismantled in the future. Spain has various nuclear reactors, including reactors that are in operation, in permanent shutdown and in the process of being dismantled.
In addition to nuclear power plants and other nuclear fuel cycle facilities (nuclear facilities), there are over a thousand radioactive facilities in operation in Spain, in the industrial sector, in medical applications, in education and in research. As a result, monitoring environmental and natural radioactivity is becoming increasingly important in the social and environmental spheres. The special case of radon gas and the presence of NORM (naturally occurring radioactive material) in certain industries such as ceramics and the construction industry are particularly noteworthy.
It must be ensured that the operation of nuclear and radioactive facilities does not harm the health of people (workers in the facilities and the general public), or damage the environment in any way. Therefore, studies aimed at monitoring and improving the nuclear safety and radiological protection of those facilities are vitally important.
Aims The main aim of the Master's Degree in Nuclear Safety and Radiological Protection is to allow students to acquire expertise and skills in the field of nuclear safety and radiological protection. The aim of nuclear safety is to reduce the likelihood of accidents occurring and mitigate their consequences. In turn, radiological protection is a set of scientific and technical multidisciplinary activities whose purpose is to protect people and the environment from the harmful effects that can result from exposure to ionising radiation.

More programs from the university

There are a number of bachelor’s degrees at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia.

To get onto an undergraduate program at UPV, you will need to:

• Have passed the University Access Test of the Spanish education system
• Have passed a Specific Higher Vocational Training, Advanced Plastic Arts and Design Specialist and Advanced Sports Specialist
• Have passed the University Entrance Examinations for over 25s or 45s or the procedure for those over 40 with professional or work experience
• Hold a university degree
• Hold the required studies, according to the educational system of a foreign country and meeting the academic requirements required in their educational systems to access their universities. Students must obtain the corresponding accreditation at the UNED, which may require the prior approval of their degrees of access


At UPV, all degrees have admission caps indicating the maximum number of new students who can enrol in certain classes. Students who pre-enrol are arranged based on their admission mark and this determines who is offered a place.

For tuition, students can either make payment in one instalment, two instalments, or in eight instalments.

International students on undergraduate programs must undergo the university’s pre-registration process, and different dates are assigned to each Autonomous Community. Before carrying out the pre-registration students must obtain the necessary documentation at the UNED .


To earn a place at postgraduate level on a master’s degree program at UPV, students must:

• Hold an official university degree in Spain or a degree issued by a higher education institution belonging to another member state of the EHEA that authorizes access to master’s degrees

Graduates may also access a master's degree according to educational systems outside the EHEA without validating their degree if the university is equivalent to a Spanish university degree.

After the corresponding pre-registration process, students will be admitted if they hit the academic criteria. In some cases, a student may be required to complete complementary training based on the previous accredited training.

Students can pay their tuition in one instalment, two instalments, or in eight instalments.

International students need to undergo the university pre-registration process.
