A comprehensive curriculum structure for master degree on nuclear security should also capture the three elements of that nuclear security system. A Master of Engineering requires 40-50 credits in two years program. The program provide one year with fundamental of engineering physics, one semester with specialization in nuclear security and one semester with thesis. It consist of four structured component, namely general education, mathematics and science, engineering fundamental, set of directive electives for nuclear security.
