The master’s project is a research project which includes the application of the latest technologies and techniques, examines the latest scientific findings or uses these findings domain-specific in a creative manner. In addition, the project gives students the opportunity to show that they, not only, master these techniques and technologies, but that they also can conceive, plan and execute them as an integrated part of a methodological and project ordered sequence of actions.
The master’s project is an independent research conducted at academic level. It aims to expand existing technologies and application-oriented developments, including
- the formulation and testing of innovative hypotheses,
- conducting innovative studies or designs,
- creating innovative solutions for domain-specific problems.
Each master’s project is guided by a supervisor. The exact research question is determined in consultation with the supervisor.
For the nuclear engineering technology, possible research topics are
-
investigating radiological measurement techniques for supporting nuclear decommissioning,
-
evaluating the reuse of residues containing enhanced concentrations of naturally occurring, radionuclides in construction materials,
-
the use of geopolymers for the immobilisation of nuclear waste,
-
new methods for dosimetry for radiotherapy: microdosimetry and biological dosimetry.

The master’s project is a research project which includes the application of the latest technologies and techniques, examines the latest scientific findings or uses these findings domain-specific in a creative manner. In addition, the project gives students the opportunity to show that they, not only, master these techniques and technologies, but that they also can conceive, plan and execute them as an integrated part of a methodological and project ordered sequence of actions.
The master’s project is an independent research conducted at academic level. It aims to expand existing technologies and application-oriented developments, including
- the formulation and testing of innovative hypotheses,
- conducting innovative studies or designs,
- creating innovative solutions for domain-specific problems.
Each master’s project is guided by a supervisor. The exact research question is determined in consultation with the supervisor.
For the nuclear engineering technology, possible research topics are
-
investigating radiological measurement techniques for supporting nuclear decommissioning,
-
evaluating the reuse of residues containing enhanced concentrations of naturally occurring, radionuclides in construction materials,
-
the use of geopolymers for the immobilisation of nuclear waste,
-
new methods for dosimetry for radiotherapy: microdosimetry and biological dosimetry.
