Overview
Nowhere in the world gives nuclear engineering students the context that Ukraine does: 15 operating nuclear reactors, the world's largest nuclear disaster site as a research laboratory, and a nuclear engineering industry that predates most countries' programs.
Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology (KIPT) is one of the world's most respected nuclear research institutes and offers doctoral and graduate programs. KPI offers undergraduate nuclear engineering programs.
Ukrainian nuclear engineers work at nuclear utilities worldwide, international regulatory bodies (IAEA), and advanced research facilities including CERN.
