SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the challenges faced by a Lebanese student seeking to pursue nuclear engineering or nuclear physics due to the lack of local educational institutions. The consensus is that studying abroad in countries such as France, the US, or England is the most viable option. Additionally, high academic performance may qualify the student for teaching assistantships in graduate programs. The sensitive nature of nuclear engineering in the region is also highlighted as a potential concern.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nuclear engineering principles
  • Familiarity with international education systems
  • Knowledge of financial aid options for studying abroad
  • Proficiency in English and French for academic purposes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research nuclear engineering programs in France, the US, and England
  • Explore teaching assistantship opportunities in graduate schools
  • Investigate financial aid and scholarship options for international students
  • Connect with professors or professionals in the field for guidance and networking
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students interested in pursuing nuclear engineering or physics, particularly those facing geographical and financial barriers. It is also relevant for educators and advisors assisting students in navigating international education opportunities.

hello everyone . I'm at my final year in college and I still didn't decide what profession should I choose.
I love physics and in particular nuclear.(I have the highest grade in physics in all college). I want to do nuclear physics or nuclear engineering. But the problem is that:
1)- I am Lebanese and live in Lebanon. There is no university were I could study it.
2)- My financial situation isn't that good.
3)- I am Arabic but I speak French and English really good.
So if anyone can help me in this subject, I would be thankful.

Welcome to PF!

It seems your only options are to study abroad in France, US or England. If your grades are high then maybe you'd qualify for a teaching assistantship in grad school.

One problem is that nuclear engineering is a sensitive subject considering that Iran has been trying to become a nuclear power and they live near you.

What do your profs think? Don't they have any ideas? Surely they must know about this difficulty and could advise you of what others have done in the past.
