“Nuclear” classes and internship programme for the students of Silesian University of Technology
Under the agreement concluded with the Ministry of Industry (Department of Nuclear Energy), Silesian University of Technology starts to carry out tasks related to the development of personnel for nuclear energy sector. This is an opportunity for students of our University, who are invited to participate in the internship program and additional “nuclear” classes in the area of supply chain for nuclear energy.
Two tasks will be performed under the program:
1. Implementation of additional (extra-curricular) classes aimed at nucleisation of technical (non-nuclear) fields of study, i.e. civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and others. As part of this task, interested students can take classes of 30 hours, with 15 hours covering topics required by the Ministry of Industry, such as elements of reactor physics, reactor technologies and operation of nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel cycle or safety and radiation protection in nuclear power plants. The remaining 15 hours of classes will be elective and profiling. Classes in the part required by Ministry of Industry will start from the 16th of June and end in the first week of July. Elective courses are planned for October and November 2025.
Participation in the classes will be rewarded with the issuance of micro certificate. There are still a few free places. Please send your application by June 22nd.
2. The recruitment for the internship part has already ended. We are pleased to inform you that the program met with great interest. The Ministry of Industry is currently selecting candidates.

The costs of the above activities will be covered from the Polish Nuclear Energy Program (PPEJ) from the budget line – “Preparation of the domestic industry.” In the internship part, the program will be open to Polish enterprises of the industrial sector performing works/supplies for the world nuclear energy or aspiring to join such supply chains.
Detailed information is provided by Dr Eng. Tomasz Bury from the Faculty of Energy and Environmental Engineering: tomasz.bury@polsl.pl, which also accepts applications from interested students.
