Aalto University
Aalto University offers following courses:
Introduction to nuclear engineering / introduction to nuclear reactors
The courses, aimed at physics major students and other students, respectively, are lectured jointly every autumn. They give an overall view of nuclear energy, reactors and power plants and an introduction to neutron physics, nuclear reactor theory, reactor kinetics, heat removal, thermohydraulics, fuel cycles, nuclear waste management and safety viewpoints. The course is lectured in Finnish.
Advanced course in nuclear engineering
The course is lectured every spring and concentrates on neutron physics. The course begins by examining neutron scattering and slowing down process. Transport equation and its diffusion approximation will be derived to understand limitations of the approximation. Finally these are combined to multigroup diffusion method. Calculation of group constants is emphasized. The course is lectured in Finnish.
Radiation physics and -safety
The subject of the course is radiation, its interactions with matter and its health effects. The emphasis is on the ionizing radiation, its risks and their mitigation. The concept of risk is studied in connection with radiation and nuclear safety. The course includes laboratory exercises on sealed sources and X-ray equipment and gives a possibility to obtain a licence to use them in research and industry. For the licence adequate knowledge of the Finnish regulations on radiation and nuclear safety is required.
Laboratory course in energy technologies
The course is organized every spring and its objective is to familiarize students with various physical phenomena by making measurements and analyzing the obtained results. The course consists of six supervised laboratory projects on nuclear and radiation physics and on the operation of nuclear reactors. Thorough laboratory reports are written on each project in order to train data analysis and technical reporting skills.

Research projects
The research in nuclear and accelerator based physics is mainly performed by using the cyclotron in the Accelerator Laboratory of the Physics Department. The research concentrates on the study of nuclear structure using stable isotopes. The topics of theoretical research include double beta decay and nuclear aspects of dark matter. Applied research includes radiation effect testing, ion-beam based material study, and production of medical isotopes.
Research is broadly categorized into three fields:
- high - energy physics
- materials physics
- nuclear and accelerator based physics

Graduate School in Particle and nuclear physics GRASPANP
Graduate School in Particle and Nuclear Physics (GRASPANP) is part of the graduate school (doctoral) system launched in Finland in January 1995. GRASPANP is funded by the Ministry of Education, the Academy of Finland, the participating universities and individual research projects. The main research fields of GRASPANP are experimental particle physics, theoretical particle physics, experimental nuclear physics, theoretical nuclear physics, accelerator technology and nuclear and accelerator based physics applications
The School coordinates and organizes research training, post graduate courses and workshops, invites international lecturers and supports conference participation. The Annual International Summer School held in Jyväskylä is an important part of this activity.

International Master Programme at the University of Oulu
The goal is to give the students a broad training in synchrotron radiation based science. The advantage of the current master´s degree programme is in providing a unified and comprehensive education in many aspects of the field. The interdisciplinary nature of present-day research increases the need for expertise in widely applicable research methods.
