Programs Is it possible to do masters in nuclear engineering with a physics degree

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a master's in nuclear engineering with a physics degree is feasible, as many individuals have successfully made this transition. It's essential to review the specific admission requirements of the nuclear engineering programs of interest. If the eligibility criteria are unclear, contacting the schools directly for clarification is recommended. Prospective students may need to complete additional undergraduate courses in areas like fluids and heat transfer, which are more application-focused than typical physics coursework. Experiences shared in the discussion primarily reflect the context of the US and Canada, indicating that requirements may vary in other countries.

Thank you so much
I will check out for more information.
 
I would expect that you will likely find yourself needing to take some undergraduate fluids and heat transfer that were more application oriented than what you might have encountered in physics.
 
Note that the people above speak from experience in the US and Canada. In other countries, the details may be different.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

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"...
