Bachelor of Science (Nuclear Science and Technology)

Nuclear Science and Technology degree graduates have a very strong background in physics as well as specialist theoretical, practical and programming skills in nuclear radiation processes that are necessary to find employment in research laboratories or related nuclear industries.

The expansion in the uranium mining industry and the monitoring of mid- and high-level radioactive storage facilities both require specific expertise. Nuclear Science and Technology is fundamental to those with a career as a health physicist, nuclear technician or radiation specialist.

This degree

All subjects include a major practical component to complement and reinforce what you learn in lectures, and ensure you gain hands-on skills that prepare you for real-life activities in your future career. You will learn from academics that are internationally recognised in many fields of physics research including medical radiation physics, solid state physics, photonics and education.

What you will study

Topics such as mechanics and thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, the nuclear fuel cycle and the physics of radiation detectors are included in the program. This course builds on the expertise of the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics in dosimetry and radiation monitoring as well as nuclear technology and waste disposal.
