Bachelor of Science majoring in Nuclear Chemistry

Nuclear chemistry is focused on finding safe ways to harness radioactive and nuclear reactions for different purposes – like medicines, energy production and more. Advancements in medical imaging, cancer treatments and power generation would not be possible without the expertise of nuclear chemists. With our Bachelor of Science majoring in Nuclear Chemistry, you’ll learn how to study changes in atomic nuclei, radioactive elements and nuclear reactions. You will also discover how these reactions can be used to drive progress in medicine, energy production, environmental protection and more. Our degree emphasises practical, hands-on experiences – giving you the skills and expertise to excel in your future career in science. Our Bachelor of Science majoring in Nuclear Chemistry provides the essential knowledge, principles, technical and professional skills required for a chemistry-focused career. You’ll study courses across organic, inorganic, physical, environmental and analytical chemistry – with a focus on nuclear and radiation chemistry. Alongside chemistry theory, you’ll also study courses introducing you to industry-standard laboratory techniques, technologies, data analysis and reporting methods. Other core courses in integrity and ethics, project management, communication and critical thinking skills will help to develop your professional skillsets. Our wide array of elective courses offers you the flexibility to explore diverse subjects. Or you can choose to pursue a second major in another scientific field – or from another discipline entirely. Throughout your studies, you'll engage in practical labs, collaborative projects, and professional placements that build your skills. Together, these opportunities ensure that you’ll graduate with the necessary knowledge, technical expertise and professional skills to thrive in your chosen scientific field.
