Hi,
Next year I am enrolled in an engineering course in my country, Australia. I want to be able to do nuclear engineering in future, but it is not offered here. What is offered however is mechanical engineering (among others of course).
My issue is that I don't want to go abroad for a 4 year period, as I would be spending at least $120,000 at absolute minimum. I only recently became interested in nuclear engineering and while this does seem fine with me, for a career I want to take, I want more time to think about it, and think about engineering as a whole before I blow all of it.
Would it be possible, for example, to complete a mechanical engineering degree, and then go to graduate school in the U.S to do a masters in nuclear engineering? Am I qualified to take a course in this since I won't do nuclear engineering beforehand? Also, if this is possible, will it limit me in any way?
Thanks.
