Overview

Bachelor of Science (Nuclear and Space Radiation Technology)

Join one of humanity’s most significant collective endeavours when you study for a degree in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) at UOW

You will work with interdisciplinary teams to explore creative solutions for our world's most significant issues and learn about the physical interconnections and principles underpinning and advancing societies globally.

The Nuclear and Space Radiation Technology major will teach you the fundamental skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in either the nuclear radiation or space radiation employment sectors emerging in Australia. 

Fundamental physics, leading to applications in science, engineering and technology industries. 

A focus is given to radiation effects on humans and electronics in space or on Earth. 

This course builds on the expertise of the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics in dosimetry and radiation safety, as well as nuclear technology and radiation waste monitoring and storage. 

Close industry ties with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) will benefit you. 

Many subjects include on-site visits and guest lecturers, and optional research internships provide significant industry exposure and networking opportunities.

Your subjects include major practical components to complement and reinforce what you learn in lectures and ensure you gain hands-on skills that prepare you for real-world activities in your future careers. 

You will learn from academics that are internationally recognised in many fields of physics research, including space and medical radiation physics, space and nuclear radiation effects, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, nuclear detection and remote sensing.
