Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the potential for pursuing a master's degree in nuclear engineering after completing a Bachelor of Science in Physics at the University of Sri Jayawardena Pura, Sri Lanka. Participants share insights and experiences related to educational pathways and admissions processes.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • The original poster (OP) inquires about the feasibility of pursuing a master's in nuclear engineering after a physics degree.
  • One participant shares their experience with individuals who have transitioned from a physics BS to a nuclear engineering MS in the US, although they express uncertainty about the situation in Sri Lanka.
  • Another participant suggests that the OP compile a list of potential schools for a master's program and check their admissions requirements, indicating a proactive approach to the inquiry.
  • Several participants offer welcoming remarks to the OP, fostering a supportive community atmosphere.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the specific pathways available in Sri Lanka for transitioning from a physics degree to a master's in nuclear engineering, as participants have varying levels of knowledge about the local educational landscape.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific information about the admissions requirements for nuclear engineering programs in Sri Lanka, and participants do not clarify the differences in educational systems between Sri Lanka and the US.

Who May Find This Useful

Students considering a transition from physics to nuclear engineering, particularly those studying in Sri Lanka or interested in international educational pathways.

I know and have worked with many people who have physics BS and nuclear engineering MS. In the US. I don't know anything about the situation in Sri Lanka.

OP:

Write down a list of candidate schools you are considering for a master's in nuclear engineering program. Then check their websites for admissions requirements. If they are not posted, e-mail the departments.
