After completing an undergraduate course of study, it is common for students to pursue a master’s degree. This type of graduate education usually trains graduates for specific career fields.

Some ambitious students may be wondering what is a Master in Nuclear Physics. A master’s degree in nuclear physics typically focuses on research in the field and gaining an understanding of technology and safety. Courses of study and research may include the topics of rare isotopes, rare reactions, nuclear fission, and lifetimes of nuclear substances. Such programs should lead to greater understanding of broader themes such as how the elements in the universe were first formed.

After completing a master’s degree in nuclear physics, students typically have gained a number of practical skills, including the ability to analyze data and draw conclusions. Additionally, students should be able to use tools and technology safely to better understand nuclear processes and conduct laboratory research in the field.

A master’s degree in nuclear physics may take two years to complete, depending on whether the course is completed on a full- or part-time basis. Both options are typically available for students who wish to choose their own schedule and can affect the total cost of obtaining the degree.

A few careers that can result from a Master of Nuclear Physics include working as a nuclear engineer, a nuclear physicist, or a medical nuclear physicist. Nuclear engineers typically conduct research in labs and may work on-site at power plants, in manufacturing, in the aerospace industry, or with the military. Nuclear physicists, on the other hand, typically do more theoretical work in laboratories. Their work may focus in fields such as the uses of nuclear energy in communications, healthcare, electronics, or aerospace. Medical nuclear physicists specialize in the medical implications of nuclear energy for treating and detecting diseases and ailments.

NucPhys is a 2-years Erasmus+: Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree programme in Nuclear Physics (120 ECTS). The programme started in 2017-2018 as an Erasmus Mundus / Erasmus+ Master Course of the European Union. This initial project has been running for three intakes. Then a new improved proposal was financed by the EACEA within the Erasmus Mundus Masters program for four additional intakes, starting in 2020-2021. In this new scheme, the Master Course is offered by a consortium of 7 partner universities in Spain, France and Italy, with the participation of more than 30 research institutions/companies as associated partners all around the World (Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Romania, Switzerland (CERN), México, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, South-Africa, Morocco, Japan, etc). Nuclear Physics is a broad matter of relevance from both the fundamental knowledge of Nature and the multiple applications to different fields of strategic economical relevance. Consequently, in this Master, fundamental theory and experiments as well as applications will be presented. -
