Energy and Power Engineering

Master’s department deadlines

Graduate applications generally run from September to February, with separate deadlines and rounds by department and programme in the 2027 catalogue. Scholarship deadlines are separate.

Applicants need a Chinese bachelor’s degree or equivalent or above and must meet the 2027 international graduate nationality rules. Submit degree and authentication, transcripts with a GPA certificate if needed, personal statement, two recommendations, ordinary passport, nationality documentation and applicable language evidence. Graduating students may initially submit expected-graduation evidence, completing degree authentication before registration. Former Chinese citizens must satisfy the six-year foreign-nationality condition as of 30 April of the enrollment year and the official nationality-document rules. TUNEM prefers academic or professional experience in nuclear engineering, management or related fields. Applicants must be capable of English-medium study; an undergraduate English-medium certificate or TOEFL/IELTS report is recommended without a stated fixed score. References should come from associate professors or higher or relevant senior professionals; a reference from CNNC, SPIC or CGN is preferred. The programme pays the application fee for applicants applying only to TUNEM. Its specialist scholarship requires a separate CSC application, nomination and CSC approval.

Master’s and doctoral eligibility

Master’s requires a bachelor’s or equivalent; doctoral requires a master’s or equivalent, with bachelor-to-doctoral entry in 39 departments under catalogue conditions. Current students need recognized qualifications/authentication before registration. Former Chinese citizens must no longer hold Chinese nationality and have held foreign nationality at least six years by 30 April of the enrollment year. For foreign citizenship at overseas birth without prior Chinese nationality, Chinese parents need pre-birth foreign permanent residence. Language/work experience follows 2027 programme remarks.

This section covers the English professional TUNEM route within Energy and Power Engineering. The two-year programme combines nuclear engineering and management. Its official 2025 programme brochure describes thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid flow, nuclear physics, reactor theory, fuel cycling and radiation protection, alongside Chinese language and culture, engineering ethics, industry practice and a thesis. These are reference subject areas; the 2027 admissions brochure does not republish a complete timetable.
