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.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
