The ANU is Australia's premier institution with regard to fundamental nuclear physics research and has maintained a continuous educational effort in nuclear physics through undergraduate, postgraduate and postdoctoral programs.

 

This degree provides training in an area where the ANU has expertise in both research and education, giving graduates the opportunity to study the fundamentals and applications of nuclear science.

 

The Master of Nuclear Science normally takes one year of full-time study or the part-time equivalent.

 

The program provides opportunities for laboratory based training and encourages students to develop the scientific background needed to inform policy debate on nuclear issues, rather than advocating a particular position.
