Ph.D. in Nuclear Science and Technology is a research-intensive program, typically lasting 3-5 years, focused on advancing knowledge in nuclear energy, radiation science, and nuclear safety. Candidates explore areas such as nuclear reactor physics, radiation protection, nuclear waste management, and nuclear materials, often combining experimental and computational research. This program equips graduates with expertise to work in academia, the nuclear industry, regulatory bodies, or government research labs. Ph.D. students must complete original research under faculty guidance, culminating in a dissertation that contributes to the field, and may also have opportunities for collaborations with leading nuclear research institutions.
