Bachelor of Science in Nuclear and Space Radiation Technology (STEM)
Program Overview
Join one of humanity’s greatest collective endeavours when you study a degree in STEM at UOW. You will work with interdisciplinary teams to explore creative solutions for our world's biggest issues, and will learn about the physical interconnections and principles that underpin and advance societies globally.
The Nuclear and Space Radiation Technology major will teach you the fundamental skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in the either the nuclear radiation or space radiation employment sectors emerging in Australia. Fundamental physics, leading to applications in science, engineering and technology industries. A focus is given to radiation effects on humans and electronics in space or on Earth. Employment areas include health physicists, radiation protection officer and radiation safety expert, nuclear experts, single event effect scientist/engineer. With the expansion in Australian Space industries, rare-Earth element and mineral mining and radioactive storage facilities, there is a need for graduates with specific knowledge and expertise across a range of fields related to nuclear science and Space radiation technologies.
This course builds on the expertise of the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics in dosimetry and radiation safety as well as nuclear technology and radiation waste monitoring and storage. You will benefit from our close industry ties with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), with many subjects including on-site visits and guest lecturers, as well as optional research internships allowing you significant industry exposure and networking opportunities.
Your subjects include major practical components to complement and reinforce what you learn in lectures, and ensure you gain hands-on skills that prepare for real-world activities in your future careers. You will learn from academics that are internationally recognised in many fields of physics research including space and medical radiation physics, space and nuclear radiation effects, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, nuclear detection and remote sensing.
