Research by the Royal Academy of Engineering discovered that the UK requires 830,000 graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics by 2020, anticipating a significant shortfall (RAE, 2012). A significant increase in the requirement for qualified personnel in nuclear disciplines is also anticipated over the next decade. The total workforce demand is expected to grow from 70,000 in 2014 to 98,000 in 2021 (NSAN, 2014). This figure does not include the significant reduction in the current workforce over the same period due to an ageing workforce, indicating the requirement for significantly higher volumes of new trained and qualified personnel.

It is envisaged that employed students will initially be predominantly from Nuclear Engineering companies such as BAE Systems and Westinghouse Springfields and / or their supply chain.

Full time students may have the opportunity to engage with these significant employers through the excellent existing partnerships that could provide high quality employment opportunities for students.

Progression from the Foundation Degree to BEng Hons has been identified as best practice by industry for all competent Nuclear Engineers. Beyond the BEng (Hons) undergraduate Degree, there is the potential to engage in further study at post graduate level at University.

Sessions range from lectures and seminars, through group tutorials, to working in small groups in laboratories, materials and simulation environments. You will have the opportunity throughout the programme to enhance your personal development with the aid of group work activity, presentations and feedback sessions. You will also have open access to our electronic online teaching resources via Moodle and our Learning Resource Centres.

You are allocated a personal tutor who will guide you through the programme, support your academic and technical developments, advise you on future career paths and help you to get the most out of your time at Blackpool and the Fylde College.

You will utilise a Personal Professional Development Profile (PPDP) process to monitor and reflect upon your skills development throughout the programme. The PPDP is a planning document that examines your current continuing professional development (CPD) needs, looking at how these might be met and listing objectives for the future. It helps to structure and focus your academic and personal training needs and should address the following points:

Where am I now? Where am I going? How am I going to get there?

On-going development has long been a vital part of the career development of professionals in nuclear engineering and some employers have identified that this approach can be linked in to their own in house CPD.

This programme is assessed through a combination of formative and summative assessments via examinations and continuous assessment, in the form of written assignments, laboratory exploration, project work and presentations.

You will be provided with the opportunity to develop skills of enquiry through analytical research and evaluation tasks which are relevant to Nuclear Engineering and scaffold from more simple to the complex as you progress through the programme. Both formative and summative assessments will require you to demonstrate advanced study skills and to use them in the critical analysis and synthesis of information from a variety of sources. Various modes of assessment will be used in different modules to ensure the key aspects of learning are assessed and that you are engaged in different forms of assessment, covering their diversity of preferred learning approaches and relevant to the Nuclear engineering discipline. You will experience a range of formative assessment activities which will provide feedback and feed forward opportunities which will support the development of your confidence, knowledge, skill and aptitudes for learning. Formative assessments will include self and peer assessment, short written and verbal tasks, group work, practical observations and question and answer activities both simple and more complex. Formative assessment is characterised by dialogue discussion and an open and transparent approach to development.

You will be assessed by examination and coursework consisting of case studies, reports or presentations, or a combination of the above, depending on the unique nature of the module being delivered. Coursework assessments approximating 4000 words or equivalent (excluding the dissertation) will be carried out per module.
