The Master of Applied Nuclear Science (MAppNucSci) and the Graduate Diploma in Applied Nuclear Science (GradDipApplNucSci) are qualifications which enable physical scientists to enter the specialist field of applied nuclear science, which encompasses areas such as nuclear physics and chemistry, nuclear fuel reactors, radiation protection and energy sources.

The MAppNucSci and GradDipApplNucSci postgraduate award courses are designed to meet the growing needs both within Australia and globally for individuals with specialist postgraduate education and training in nuclear science and technology.

The School of Physics within the University of Sydney offers students a wide range of coursework units of study, covering the key areas of knowledge in nuclear science, including nuclear physics, radiation physics and dosimetry, reactor physics, as well environmental and health issues. The Masters program also provides research training.

Students should expect to gain a comprehensive understanding of nuclear science and its applications to physics, energy generation, health and the environment. In addition to this, students will also gain research experience. Students of both the MAppNucSci and GradDipApplNucSci should expect to gain sufficient knowledge, skills and training for a competitive edge in the nuclear science and technology industry.
