In summary, nuclear physics is a branch of physics that focuses on studying the properties and behavior of atomic nuclei and the particles within them. At universities, you can pursue a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, or Doctor of Philosophy degree in nuclear physics, as well as specialized programs such as nuclear engineering or medical physics. Common topics covered in a nuclear physics program include nuclear structure, nuclear reactions, nuclear astrophysics, nuclear energy, and nuclear waste management. Graduates with a degree in nuclear physics have various career opportunities in research, academia, and industries such as nuclear power, healthcare, and national defense. While there may be safety concerns when working with radioactive materials, universities have strict protocols in place to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Hello modest one,
So you dropped particle physics
? It's fine, of course, but it gives a somewhat lighthearted impression. And nuclear physics in itself is a broad field as well ! How well do you know it ?
Your question is way too unfocused. You could read up on the subject and see where most of the current activity comes from. But you shouldn't think that the currently best university in general is also the best for you in your future.

What exactly is nuclear physics?
Nuclear physics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior and properties of atomic nuclei. It involves studying the structure, interactions, and reactions of atomic nuclei, as well as the particles that make up those nuclei.
What types of degrees can I pursue in nuclear physics at universities?
At universities, you can typically pursue a Bachelor of Science (BSc), Master of Science (MSc), or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in nuclear physics. Some universities also offer specialized programs such as nuclear engineering or medical physics.
What are some common topics covered in a nuclear physics program?
Some common topics covered in a nuclear physics program include nuclear structure, nuclear reactions, nuclear astrophysics, nuclear energy, and nuclear waste management. Students also learn about various experimental techniques used in nuclear physics research.
What career opportunities are available for graduates with a degree in nuclear physics?
Graduates with a degree in nuclear physics can pursue careers in research, academia, and various industries such as nuclear power, healthcare, and national defense. They may also work in government agencies or national laboratories.
Are there any safety concerns associated with studying nuclear physics?
While nuclear physics research can involve working with radioactive materials, universities have strict safety protocols in place to ensure the safety of students and staff. These protocols include proper training, handling and disposal of radioactive materials, and regular safety inspections.
