Programs Doing another masters degree after having a masters degree

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the potential for pursuing a second master's degree after already holding a B.Sc. in Nuclear Science. The individual is currently involved in a research collaboration focused on developing Pipeline Automated Ultrasonic Testing Equipment, where they conduct statistical analysis and equipment performance checks. They express a strong interest in advancing their education, considering a master's in plasma physics or nuclear engineering in the future. The conversation touches on the feasibility of obtaining multiple master's degrees, highlighting that it ultimately depends on personal time commitment and funding availability. The example of someone with both an MBA and a master's in Computer Science is provided to illustrate that pursuing additional degrees is a viable option.

Hello everyone,

I'm from Malaysia and I have a B.Sc. in Nuclear Science.

A university here is currently having a research collaboration with a my company to develop and qualify my company's Pipeline Automated Ultrasonic Testing Equipment and I'm currently involve in the project by doing the statistical analysis of the data collected to determine the probability of detection of the defect, performance check of the equipment and examining the macrograph of the weld sectioning. Apart from doing the qualification work, I can actually choose to register as a part time masters student, work on my thesis and get M.Sc. in material science.

But anyway, my main interest is in nuclear science and engineering. I planned to further my study maybe in masters of plasma physics or nuclear engineering in the future.

So, what do you guys think of taking another masters degree after already having one?

It depends on how much time your want to spend in school, and how easily you can fund it. But you can have two master's degrees, yeah, it's a thing. My dad has an MBA and a master's in Comp Sci.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
